Custom Front Page showing several box based on taxonomy

Hi all,

Which is the best way to customize front page of my site?

1. I have a vocaboulary named "CATEGORIES"
2. Example of categories (first level of terms) are: "music", "art", "sport"
3. Every category has is own sub-terms, e.g.:
   • music -> rock, country, jazz
   • art -> photos, sculpture
   • sport -> basketball, football, hockey

In my home page i would have a box for every category, listing all recent posts for that category (and posts of related subterms), like this:

• a box titled "MUSIC" showing recent post in this category, subterms included
• a box titled "ART" showing recent post in this category, subterms included
• a box titled "SPORT" showing recent post in this category, subterms included

How I can obtain this result using for example a combination of views, page-front.tpl.php, or views-view--frontpage.tpl.php and so on?

Thank you!
