Giordani is world champion for road cycling, category under 23 / Trionfa ai mondiali di ciclismo Under 23. I genitori sono di Prata d'Ansidonia - Leonardo, un aquilano in maglia iridata
The 100 Abruzzese fans burst out against journalist De Zan, who had said Leonardo was from Rome. So he corrected "a Roman from Abruzzo". His parents are from Tussio, near Prata d'Ansidonia, in the province of L'Aquila. His father says Leonardo received his emigrant's toughness and applied it to the bike.

The Antò win the war and the booking-office - The film telling the story of four kids from Montesilvano rages through Italy / Gli Antò vincono la guerra e sbancano il botteghino - La storia dei quattro ragazzi di Montesilvano è uno dei successi della stagione, anche grazie alle battute in dialetto
, by Alessandro Ricci
Created by writer Silvia Ballestra, the story of the four kids, Antò Lu Purk, Antò Lu Zombi, Antò
Lu Mmalatu and Antò lu Zorru is a description of the kids' failure in making a future for themselves away from their native street. They dream of leaving Abruzzo and speak dialect. The English «come in» becomes «camìn» (= move on). They eat Parrozzini and drink Centerba in the students' dormitories in Bologna, they criticize the concrete-builders who are destroying the coast and their rich ugly daughters («cozze»). The actors are almost all non-professional.
