    Le Vie del Vino

    Piemonte

    Lesser-Known Grape Varieties

    WINE EDUCATION
    Thursday, April 13, 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm 



    Join us for an educational class about Piemonte Lesser-Known Grape Varieties and Wines, one of Italy's greatest wine regions. Piemonte is one of the country's most spectacular-looking regions, tucked in just south of the Alps (Piemonte means " foot of the mountain"), and is home to some of the greatest red wines in the world, made from the Nebbiolo varietal.

    Piedmont has another hidden treasure because it hosts an impressive range of indigenous (autochthonous) grape varieties that have not yet reached international recognition. Tonight we will discover and learn about the lesser-known native grape varieties and taste their wines with The Piedmont Guy. Charcuterie boards "taglieri di salumi e formaggi" and breadsticks "grissini" will be also enjoyed by the guests.

    Il Gattopardo /The Leopard

    Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa



    A classic of Italian Literature






    - Presented IN ENGLISH -

     Click on the Register button in the upper left blue box


    In our last Circolo letterario (CELEBRATE SICILY!, on January 19), we discussed the history of XVIII-XIX century Sicily as portrayed by Stefania Auci, a contemporary Italian writer (I leoni di Sicilia, 2019).

    In this new Circolo letterario, you’ll be introduced to Il gattopardo (Feltrinelli 1958; The Leopard, Collins and Pantheon 1960), the most famous historical novel set in 1800 Sicily. Its author, Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa wrote only this book and died in 1957 before seeing it published.

    Il gattopardo won the literary award Premio Strega in 1959. It was widely appreciated by literary critics and by readers and was translated into many languages.

    The 1963 film adaptation of the novel by the director Luchino Visconti won the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival.

    Described by many as one of the masterpieces of Italian literature, Il gattopardo recounts the life of the Prince Fabrizio Salina – the impersonation of the author’s great-grandfather - who witnessed the strife between the upper classes and the newly-rich merchants, the Republicans and the monarchists, and the defenders of the Bourbons and the supporters of the reign of the Piedmonts’ Vittorio Emanuele. We will discuss the historical and literary background necessary to fully appreciate this unique novel and watch together some of the salient sections of the movie.

    A book club edition of the Circolo letterario is planned on Saturday May 20 for those who will read this book in Italian or in English to discuss and share impressions from their reading.



    Pieranna Garavaso is native Italian and came to the US to earn a PhD in Philosophy (at the U of Nebraska Lincoln). She taught Philosophy at the University of Minnesota Morris for 34 years. She was awarded the UMN Morris Alumni Association Teaching Award (2003), the Horace T. Morse Alumni Association Undergraduate Teaching Award (2004) and the UMN Morris Faculty Research Award (2017). Her areas of research include History of Analytic Philosophy, Philosophy of Mathematics, and Feminist Philosophies.  She has published articles in Italian and English and authored, co-authored or edited several books; the last collection she has edited is the Bloomsbury Companion to Analytic Feminism (2018).  As Emerita/retired she plans to devote more time to reading and discussing Italian literature.



    In 2021, ICC was appointed Presidio Letterario of the Società Dante Alighieri (DA), one of the most important Italian institutions for the promotion and appreciation of Italian language and culture since 1889. ICC is now part of a network of cultural centers in Italy and abroad promoting events and initiatives related to Italian literature. Since 2009 DA has officially been part of the jury of Premio Strega, the most prestigious Italian literary award.

    Genuine Italy at its best! 


    Silvia Mazza BIO

    Tourism has always been a passion and a profession to me. It all started when my German mother met my father while she was on holiday in Rimini, on the Adriatic Coast: I am the result of that love born on vacation, so we can say that tourism is in my DNA! I have always loved to travel, to discover new places and cultures. I started my career as animator in tourist resorts all over the world, then I became tour leader and finally I landed to work in tourism promotion over 20 years ago. It’s a very gratifying work, trying to boost tourism in the region where I was born and grown up. I am aware that there are a lot of amazing things to see, taste, experience, enjoy and I am happy to share this knowledge to anyone who is curious to learn more about Emilia Romagna.

    MARK YOUR CALENDAR for Friday, May 5th, for a CineConcert featuring the groundbreaking 1911 silent film INFERNO accompanied LIVE by Stefano Maccagno (piano) and Furio Di Castri (double bass) visiting directly from Italy


    T H E   P R O J E C T

    The concept of "musical accompaniment" for the film "Inferno" is a transverse musical process that fosters a timbric osmosis of a predominantly electronic track and live performances on double bass and piano. The designed absence of specific languages allows the musical selections and genres to be freely defined by the images themselves, the absolute protagonists of the project, creating an oftentimes surreal experience. The combination of electronic and live music transports the listener to atmospheres at times impalpable, as the timbric density undergoes rarefaction, and at times to “magmatic musical” situations, in which the full multiplicity of sounds coexist in an orchestral sum of timbric material. Free improvisation performed live on the double bass and piano defines the soundtrack, allowing the instruments to dialogue with one another in a purity of language that ranges from Jazz to classical-contemporary music.


    T H E   M O V I E
    L'Inferno is a 1911 Italian silent film, loosely adapted from the first canticle of Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy. The movie took over three years to make, and was the first full-length Italian feature film ever produced. L'Inferno's depictions of Hell closely followed those in the engravings of Gustave Doré for an edition of the Divine Comedy, which were familiar to an international audience. The movie production also employed several special effects, some of which were considered groundbreaking at the time, establishing the movie as a leader in innovation of cinematic techniques.


    FURIO DI CASTRI
    self-taught double bassist, he records his first album in 1973 (Dedalus – Trident rec.) at the age of 17. After living in Tunisia, he moves to Rome in 1978 where he plays with Maurizio Giammarco and Massimo Urbani bands. From 1979 to 1981 he plays as sideman with Chet Baker, Art Farmer, Walter Davis jr, Jimmy Knepper, Freddie Hubbard, Al Grey, Franco d’Andrea, Tete Montoliu, Sal Nistico, Enrico Pieranunzi, Dave Samuels. Throughout the 80s’ he is part of Enrico Rava quartet and Michel Petrucciani trio and takes part to international tours and concerts with Dino Saluzzi, Joe Henderson, Chet Baker, John Taylor, Steve Lacy, Lee Konitz, Paul Motian, Joe Lovano, Pharoah Sanders, Charles Lloyd, Ray Anderson, Daniel Humair, John Abercrombie, Cristian Escoudè, Philip Catherine, Aldo Romano, Franco d’Andrea. In the 90s’ he plays with Richard Galliano, Paul Bley, John Surman, John Taylor, Kenny Wheeler, Michael Brecker, Dave Liebman, Joe Lovano, Andy Sheppard, Paul Motian, John Scofield, Nguyen Le, Franco Ambrosetti, Antonello Salis, Stefano Bollani, Uri Caine. He has collaborated with Paolo Fresu for over 20 years. Since 2000, he dedicates himself to his own projects and to composition for orchestras, dance, theatre and contemporary art performances. Since 2001 he is professor in double bass at the Jazz Department of Turin Music Conservatory.

    S T E F A N O  M A C C A G N O

He has composed the music score for Susanna Nicchiarelli’s "Nico, 1988", recording with actress Trine Dirholm (best actress award at Berlinale 2017). He is the official pianist of the Cabiria restoration project, which has accompanied at Cannes and Berlin film festivals as well as in Belgrade, Budapest, Lyon, Luxembourg, Madrid, Sao Paulo, Seoul, Tokyo, Vancouver.
