- 0:12Brought to you by Virginia DMV. My name's Mackenzie,
- 0:15and I started a GoFundMe for the adoptive mother
- 0:20of a nonverbal autistic child. The mother had
- 0:24lost her job because she wasn't able to find
- 0:27adequate care for this autistic child. So she
- 0:30really needed some help with living expenses,
- 0:33paying some back bills. So I launched a GoFundMe
- 0:37to help support them during this crisis. And
- 0:40we raised about $10 ,000 within just a couple
- 0:46of months. I think that the surprising thing
- 0:49was by telling a clear story and just like really
- 0:53being very clear about what we needed. We had
- 0:55some really generous donations from people who
- 0:58were really moved by the situation that this
- 1:00family was struggling with. GoFundMe is the world's
- 1:03number one fundraising platform trusted by over
- 1:05200 million people. Start your GoFundMe today

- 1:157080 .it presents 70x80. Do you remember? A KVOX
- 1:21production. Welcome to 70x80, the section of
- 1:257080 .it that deepens the topics discussed on
- 1:29the portal. I'm with the journalist Enzo Mauri,
- 1:32who introduces today's topic. was invented in
- 1:531886 by John Stitt Pemberton, a pharmacist from
- 1:56Atlanta. In 1919 the brand of the drink was registered
- 2:00in our country. The bottling of Coca -Cola started
- 2:05in 1927 thanks to the Roman company Acqua e Gassose.
- 2:09Coca -Cola was imposed in our country, as well
- 2:12as in the whole world, for advertising campaigns
- 2:14that pointed to flashy and typical red fridges,
- 2:18already in the 50s, present in many bars in Italy.
- 2:21peninsula. Right between the 50s and 60s, to
- 2:27be precise, in 1960, a terrible photo was taken
- 2:31in one of the most famous places in the world,
- 2:33San Marco Square in Venice. For the occasion,
- 2:35Coca -Cola went to accommodate none other than
- 2:37the numerous pigeons, which in turn populate
- 2:40the famous Lagunare city, despite the attempt
- 2:42of the municipal administration to limit the
- 2:45number. What happened on that distant day 64
- 2:48years ago? Several collaborators of Coca -Cola
- 2:51used to scatter on the surface of the squares
- 2:54kilos of bechime in order to compose the writing
- 2:57of the well -known brand. Others took care of
- 2:59keeping the pigeons at bay to prevent them from
- 3:01throwing themselves too early on the food, ruining
- 3:03the ideal moment for the shot. The intent was
- 3:06to attract the largest number of volatiles, which,
- 3:09in the face of the unusual offer of bechime,
- 3:11would have taken advantage of it by making the
- 3:13Coca -Cola writing visible from above, that is,
- 3:15what actually happened. In the years of penutis,
- 3:18the particular effect lasted only a few minutes,
- 3:20it is necessary to give the photographer the
- 3:22right to be able to to immortalize the right
- 3:24moment, and then transform it into posters and
- 3:27promotional Coca -Cola cards. Despite the dubious
- 3:30originality of the find, what we find was not
- 3:32too resonant, in particular that years later
- 3:35it made a clamorous fake scream, but the photo
- 3:38is authentic. In fact, the inoppugnable element
- 3:40is the author of the shot, on the photo there
- 3:43is the signature of the photographic studio of
- 3:44the Ferruzzi brothers of Venice. The photographer
- 3:47Mirko Liorn was the one to set the event out
- 3:50of the ordinary at the time he was a student.
- 3:51The year in which he was and sources of discussion
- 3:54every time the photo appears on the web. There
- 3:57are those who give for sure in 1960 but according
- 3:59to other testimonies it could also be from the
- 4:02early 70s. In 1960 Italy hosted the Olympic Games
- 4:06in Rome and Coca -Cola collaborated with the
- 4:08organizing committee. Given the relevance of
- 4:11the event, why choose Venice for the photo and
- 4:13not the capital? The answer could be that the
- 4:16photo is antecedent. We know for sure that already
- 4:18in 1955 the promotional cards of the general
- 4:24insurance were circulating for Italy, known with
- 4:25the brand AG. As for Coca -Cola, in the photo
- 4:28of the generals, the pigeons of Venice composed
- 4:30the writing AG. the release of the American brand
- 4:34in 1960, then the idea, in the face of originality,
- 4:38was undoubtedly copied, but it could also have
- 4:41been the opposite, it must be said. Thanks to
- 4:44Enzo Mauri for the theme today, appointment to
