FIL històric sobre la Barcelona a principis de S. XX, pioners del Cinema, Borbons, pornografia i el primer gran escàndol de Hollywood.
Comencem! 👇
Diumenge 25 d'abril de 1909, 11 del matí, Ricard de Baños posa una càmera a una vagoneta enganxada en un tramvia i ens regala un dels documents fílmics més extraordinaris de la història de Barcelona.

(He utilitzat intel·ligència artificial i afegit so per millorar l'experència)
El primer fragment d’aquest passeig en tramvia per la Barcelona de 1909, que acabeu de veure, és el trajecte de mar a muntanya del que avui anomenem Passeig de Gràcia-Jardinets-Gran de Gràcia (C. Salmerón).

Seguim amb el trajecte Gran de Gràcia-Lesseps-República Argentina.

Cap al 1915, Josep Brangulí surt al carrer per immortalitzar els carrers de Barcelona de nit, unes fotografies genials. Arxiu Nacional de Catalunya.

Vista nocturna de l'escultura d'un dels lleons de la base del monument a Colom. Plaça del Portal de la Pau.
1910-1920. Fanals de ferro forjat al Cinc d'Oros, nom popular que rebia la cruïlla del Passeig de Gràcia amb l'Avinguda Diagonal. Fanals dissenyats per Pere Flaqués, fanals que des de 1957 van estar amagats als magatzems municipals fins que el 1985 van ser ubicats a l'Av.Gaudí.
Quioscos de begudes il·luminats a la Rambla de Canaletes i Plaça Universitat. Barcelona 1915.

A Barcelona hi havia quisocos de begudes escampats per la cituat que mai tancaven.

L'enéssima discussió amb una persona intel·ligent i preparada que em defensa la gestió d'Ayuso davant la pandèmia en comparació amb la Generalitat. Em diu "És un miracle econòmic el que està aconseguint i nosaltres en caiguda lliure". Principals arguments:
- Madrid ha sabut balancejar economia i salut
- Madrid va caure molt menys que Cat el 2020, s'està recuperant molt més de pressa durant el 2021 i les previsions són molt millors de cara el 2022
- Tenen menys atur i baixa més ràpid

TOTES SON FALSES
Anem una per una:

1. Madrid va ser la regió d'Europa, no d'Espanya, d'Europa! amb major excés de mortalitat al 2020. I no per poc, per molt (Dades EU, Comite de les Regions).
