Saturday October 10th Social Theater “G. Busca”- Alba [email protected] - Tel. 0173.789282 “OUTSIDE – INSIDE”. INSIDE THE NATURE OF ROERO EXHIBITION OF IVANO PIVA CURATED BY CARLA TESTORE One of the landmarks of the World Heritage area, the Castle of Monticello is located in the heart of Roero and will host Ivano Piva's "Outside - Inside" project from October 17th to December 8th. The protagonists are the products of Roero that are described through macro-enlargements. Truffles, strawberries, hazelnuts, grapes, asparagus, cherries have been dissected up to the "heart", creating images of great emotional impact. The exhibition, curated by Carla Testore, presents works in which the typical products of the Roero are enlarged with meticulous attention to detail to convey new visions and sensations. Opening Friday October 2nd at 5.00 pm From Saturday October 17th to Tuesday December 8th Monticello Castle Piazza San Ponzio 2, Monticello d’Alba [email protected] - Tel. 347 443 7144 Association for the Heritage of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato Wine Landscapes Carola Giacometti [email protected] - 348 1536397 THIS DOESN'T BELONG TO ME On the occasion of the eighth year of collaboration with ENSBA Lyon - École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux Artes, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo presents "This Doesn't Belong to Me", the first solo exhibition in Italy by Tarek Lakhrissi (1992, Châtellerault, FR) curated by Bernardo Follini. Lakhrissi is an artist, poet and writer who lives and works in Paris: in his works he investigates and challenges the structures of language by reflecting around the notion of identity. "This Doesn’t Belong to Me" explores the concept of self-defense, understood as a practice of resistance that different subordinate social groups have developed for survival, applied to the figure of the salamander. On display the amphibian becomes a symbol of a political, but also sexual counterpower, which in the exercise of autotomy - the self-amputation of non-vital parts of the body practiced by some animals as a diversion against their predators - implements a defensive tactic able to connect urban guerrilla strategies to practices pertaining to the sphere of the erotic. From Saturday 3rd October to Sunday 15th November Re Rebaudengo Palace, Via Secondo Paoletti, 2 - Guarene [email protected] - Tel 011 19831600 WAVES BETWEEN US The fourteenth edition of the Young Curators Residency Program has taken as its starting point the dual interpretation of the word “siren”, intended both as a mythological figure of the sea and as an emergency or alarm sound. Inside Waves Between Us, the figure of the mermaid slips between these meanings, intertwining with the works of the artists on display (Almare, Bea Bonafini, Benni Bosetto, Binta Diaw, Isola Della Femmine, Marco Giordano, Raffaela Naldi Rossano, Nuvola Ravera, Real Madrid, Elisa Strinna) to explore sound as a mode of transmission, salt water as a web of connectivity, and the underworld territories of caves as ecosystems of new possible compositions. The exhibition curated by Alison Karasyk, Camille Regli, Katie Simpson, crosses through Palazzo Re Rebaudengo, channeling past and future narratives different from the dominant ones into its rooms, to rethink contemporary reality and explore new ways of being together. Young Curators Residency Program 2020, coordinated by Lucrezia Calabrò Visconti From Saturday October 3rd to Sunday November 15th Re Rebaudengo Palace, Via Secondo Paoletti, 2 - Guarene [email protected] - Tel 011 19831600 FERRERO FOUNDATION The encounters of the Ferrero Foundation resume in autumn: medical conferences (starting from October 15th, at the headquarters of the Ferrero Foundation), educational conferences, cultural events (the inauguration of a music festival with protagonist Uto Ughi).

  • 2019 Roero Arneis Docg
    One of the legendary winemakers of the world, Bruno Giacosa crafted the most prestigious single-vineyard Barolo and Barbaresco wines during a career that spanned nearly eight decades. He joined the family business at the age of 15, representing the third generation of his Langhe winemaking family. Giacosa’s unfailing pursuit of perfection, his unrivaled palate and his intimate knowledge of vineyards in the Langhe quickly drew recognition and helped establish Piedmont as a leading wine region. In 1980, Giacosa began to acquire prime parcels in Serralunga d’Alba, La Morra and Barbaresco to produce wines that are rightly regarded as the finest expressions of Nebbiolo. His legacy rests with daughter Bruna, who continues to uphold her father’s winemaking philosophy to respect traditional techniques while using the best of modern technology. The goal is for each distinguished site to produce articulate, unique wines. 2019 ROERO ARNEIS DOCG Grape variety: Arneis Vineyards: Select vineyards in the villages of Vezza d’Alba, Monteu Roero, Santo Stefano Roero, Canale, Montà d’Alba Age of vines: 19-26 years Yield: 70 hL/ha Vinification: Stainless steel vats Length of fermentation: 25-30 days Malolactic fermentation: not developed Refinement: 4 months in stainless steel vats + 1 month in bottle Bottling: February 2020 Alcohol: 13.5% vol.

In 25 this paper, we conducted a systematic revision of the Troglohyphantes species of the Italian Alps, 26 with a special focus on the Lucifuga complex, including the description of two new species (T. 27 lucifer n. sp. and T. apenninicus n. sp). In addition, we provided new diagnostic drawings of the 28 holotype of T. henroti (Henroti complex) and established three new synonymies within the genus. 29 The molecular analysis of the animal DNA barcode confirms the validity of this method of 30 identification of the Alpine Troglohyphantes and provides additional support for the morphology- 31 based species complexes. Finally, we revised the known distribution range of additional 32 Troglohyphantes species, as well as other poorly known alpine cave-dwelling spiders.

  • Linea Mondovi'-Bastia
    LINEA MONDOVI’-BASTIA Il tratto fa parte della linea Bastia-Cuneo. La tratta Cuneo-Mondovì è ancora attiva. Lunghezza linea : circa Km. 9.00 Situazione della linea: esiste ancora il binario ma si presenta in cattivo stato data l’orografia della zona attraversata. Per un futuro riutilizzo si dovrà considerare la difficoltà derivante dalla presenza delle gallerie. Comuni intercettati : Mondovì (CN) Bastia (CN) Opere d’arte principali: sono presenti due ponti in muratura a due archi sul fiume Ellero oltre a ponticelli con diversa tipologia strutturale e tre gallerie, due nel comune di Mondovì (Lmax= 244 m) oltre a vari tombini ed opere minori Criticità : non sono pertinenti i mappali n. 353, 341, 366 del foglio 15 per un totale di € 10.219,62. Sono stati demoliti i caselli al Km 5+545, al Km 3+880. LA STORIA Già intorno al 1850 erano stati costituiti i comitati promotori della costruzione di una linea ferroviaria da Cuneo a Bastia, passando per Mondovì. Quest'ultima era stata ripetutamente richiesta dal Consiglio Provinciale di Cuneo disposto a dare il suo contributo unitamente ai comuni interessati, ma non riuscirono a realizzarsi le condizioni economiche imposte dal Ministero dei Lavori Pubblici. Si dovrà attendere il Regio Decreto del 20 agosto 1873 che approvò la concessione al Comune di Mondovì per la costruzione e l'esercizio del solo tratto di ferrovia Mondovì-Bastia Mondovì. La suddetta concessione si riferiva ad un progetto di massima redatto nel 1872 dall'Ing. Soldati che prevedeva l'ubicazione della stazione terminale all'innesto della linea con la Savona-Ceva-Bra, presso Bastia Mondovì.

  • SUGGESTIONS for POSSIBLE SHORT TRIPS to Get An
    SUGGESTIONS FOR POSSIBLE SHORT TRIPS To get an introduction about the area near the conference: Why You Really Should Visit Italy's Outstanding Barolo Wine Region https://www.forbes.com/sites/catherinesabino/2018/10/28/why-you-really-should-visit-italys- outstanding-barolo-wine-region/#7bd3de632f89 Note that the Langa district is best visited by car. Because of its territory, the district is not accessible by train (except for Alba, which is connected to the railway system). However, driving in the Langa district should not be a problem since it is in the countryside and not in a big city. For reference, Bra and Alba have ~30,000 people each. Some of the villages referenced below are much smaller: Pollenzo (a subdivision of Bra) and Barolo have only ~700 people. Furthermore, besides the picturesque hills and the historic castles and buildings, this area is also about food and wine. So you can pair some of the suggestions below with the restaurant suggestions also available on the conference website. There are also several wine tours that are normally organized in the area and, besides the suggestions below, you can just search online for what suits your interest. 1) Tour of the Barolo Langa district: Barolo, La Morra, and Verduno Note: Requires a car. Also, distances are short and so one can break these itineraries into smaller ones as desired. Barolo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barolo,_Piedmont) is the town in the middle of the vineyards of nebbiolo grapes that produce the famous wine of the same name. It is a medieval village developed at the foot of the castle.
