Tennis star Sinner releases duet with Italian tenor Bocelli
Tennis star Jannik Sinner has turned his hand to music releasing a duet on Friday with the renowned Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli.
The song, "Polvere e Gloria" (Dust And Glory), features three-time Grand Slam champion Sinner, not singing but repeating parts of his winning and losing speeches, which he recorded at Bocelli's studio in Tuscany.

"I am very happy and honoured to be part of this project with Andrea, who for 30 years has been a unique and extraordinary voice, a flag for our country in the rest of the world," said world number one Sinner.
"I could never have imagined hearing my voice in one of his songs. It's extremely moving."
Sinner won the US Open in 2024 and the Australian Open in 2024 and 2025, among 19 ATP titles. He finished runner-up in the French Open on clay at Roland Garros this month.
The track features both Italian and English lyrics.
The accompanying video shows Sinner and Bocelli, two of the most famous Italians in the world, in a bucolic countryside setting, seated at a piano.

The video features personal and archive images from the duo's childhoods, along with scenes filmed as they collaborated at Bocelli's estate.
While Bocelli, 66, has performed at major events including the Olympic Games and the World Cup, Sinner is the first Italian to top either the men's or women's singles world rankings in tennis.
His image as a national hero in Italy, however, was tarnished by a high-profile doping scandal involving accidental contamination, which, after a lengthy series of events, earned him a three-month suspension between February and May.
Since his return, Sinner, 23, has reached the finals of the Masters 1000 in Rome and the French Open, losing both times to his great rival Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz.
On Thursday, he was defeated in the second round of the grass-court tournament in Halle, Germany, by Kazakh Alexander Bublik, ranked 45th in the world.

Can you bring your dog to the mall? Here's what the rules say in South Florida
One of South Florida's biggest malls is a big fan of your dogs. Aventura Mall, ranked as the most popular mall in the country, not only welcomes dogs to stroll with their humans, it even offers two dog parks. 'The guest is at the heart of the experience, and that means their best friends, too.' mall management said in a statement to the Miami Herald. The mall, at Northeast 195th Street and Biscayne Boulevard in Northeast Miami-Dade, features dog hydration stations, pet relief areas, dog-friendly patios, and of course those pet parks. David Moskowitz, owner of Broward Bark, a local newsletter for pet owners, said businesses benefit when they're pet-friendly. 'Being able to bring them along to pet-friendly places makes errands fun,' he said. 'It also benefits retailers. Shoppers tend to stay longer since they're not rushing home to let their dogs out, by visiting more stores.' The dog rules at the mall Despite the welcoming atmosphere, there are still dog rules at Aventura Mall. And those rules listed on signs. Dogs must be accompanied by a human 18 or older. They have to stay on a leash or in a stroller. Their humans must clean up accidents. And the animals have to stay away from fountains and off the escalators. Dogs generally aren't allowed in restaurants and some stores might not be as dog-friendly as the mall in general, so check before you enter those areas with your pooch. At least one dog was spotted in the new Eataly on Thursday, but not in any of the Italian market's restaurants. Even though dogs are welcome to window shop, the mall doesn't extend the same hospitality to your pet bird or reptile, according to the rules. Do other South Florida malls allow dogs? Other malls in South Florida aren't as transparent when it comes to dogs. Simon-owner Dadeland and Miami International Mall declined to comment on their policies. The only Simon Malls property that allows dogs, as mentioned by several pet-friendly location trackers, is the outdoor Falls in Kendall. According to Pet-Friendly Travel, the mall features a 'dog comfort station' at guest services and allows dogs small enough to fit in a stroller, carrier, or held by the owner during the visit. Though the shopping center features various places to walk around, they aren't considered a 'dog-walking' friendly location. The Shops at Merrick Park, an open-air complex in Coral Gables, also allows dogs in accepting stores, common areas and public spaces. What you should know about bringing your dog to businesses? The best advice is to check with a business before bringing your dog inside. Some stores have different policies and don't always throw down the welcome mat for your pup. At the popular Miromar Outlets mall off Interstate 75 north of Naples, the outdoor center allows dogs, and individual stores post signs in their windows if canines are welcome inside. Under Florida law, restaurants generally don't allow dogs, but service animals are always allowed inside. And last year, Publix made it clear that dogs other than official service dogs, aren't welcome inside the supermarket. Florida's largest grocery store chain posted signs outside and the lobby to hammer home that point.

Milano Cortina Unveils Posters for 2026 Winter Olympics
Summary AsMilano Cortina 2026draws near, a new league of Italian artists present their take on the long-standing poster Milanoand Fondazione Milano Cortina have unveiled the official art posters for the upcoming Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games next January. Helmed by Damiano Gullì and the international Olympic and Paralympic committees, the initiative invited 10 artists under 40 to reimagine the events through the lens of Italian contemporary art, bringing forth a range of gouache, acrylic, digital and mixed-media compositions. This year's cohort of Olympic poster artists features an all-women roster with contributions from Beatrice Alici, Martina Cassatella, Giorgia Garzilli, Maddalena Tesser and Flaminia Veronesi. From Garzilli's gelato-stacked Olympic rings to Alici's milk-white ski scene and Cassatella's fiery hand-as-torch, each piece offers a vibrant take on competition and collaboration, through themes of myth, joy and bliss. The Paralympic series shifts focus to strength, resilience and solidarity. Works by Roberto De Pinto, Andrea Fontanari, Aronne Pleuteri, Clara Woods and Giulia Mangoni celebrate human connection, adaptive power and emotional triumph envisioned through plumes of color, poetic textual elements and a look back on the tendermomentshared between Braima Suncar Dabo and Jonathan Busby at the 2019 Doha World Championships. Dating back to 1972, the Olympic art posters serve as symbolic reflections of the Games' triumphant spirit, previously spotlighting cultural icons like Andy Warhol, David Hockney andHirohiko ArakiofJojo's Bizarre Adventurefor the Tokyo Games in 2020. Now, a new generation of artists carries the torch forward. All ten posters, alongside the official torches of Milano Cortina 2026 are now on view at Piano Parco Galleries through March 15, 2026.
