La Malvasia non sta ad indicare un’unica varietà; ci sono diverse produzioni che all’interno del loro nome contengono “Malvasia” e tra queste varietà non vi è uniformità morfologica. La gran parte delle Malvasie sono vitigni bianchi, ma esistono varietà nere, rosa, grigie, neutre, aromatiche e altre ancora con un sapore moscato. Fonti storiche attendibili sostengono che il nome “Malvasia” debba prendere in considerazione tanto i fattori storici quanto quelli sociologici.Ai mercanti veneziani va riconosciuto il merito di aver introdotto le Malvasie nelle regioni adriatiche e mediterranee.
A “circumnavigation” of the Mediterrean Sea along its coastlines, which recounts peoples, landscapes and colours, but also literatures and cultures which built the treasure of this sea and of the lands around it. The journey starts from Naples and moves towards West, in a tour covering all the coast and ending in Sicily, among places which are different and yet fraternal, voices which are far and yet expressions of the same vital bond with the sea.
Il Vermouth di Torino è per eccellenza un simbolo dell’aperitivo in tutto il mondo. Nasce nel 1700 dalla maestria dei liquoristi torinesi, poi diventa un prodotto esportato ovunque. Immagini indimenticabili sono state create da importanti artisti per la sua réclame. Stupende etichette con la loro speciale grafica ne hanno portato e ne portano il nome in mille Paesi. Questo vino sta vivendo un’epoca di grande apprezzamento, tanto da aver ottenuto dall’Unione Europea il riconoscimento dell’Indicazione Geografica che identifica e sancisce il legame con una terra, una tradizione, un “saper fare” unico. Bevuto puro o in celeberrimi cocktail, il Vermouth di Torino è protagonista di un racconto avvincente che parte dalla mondana “ora del Vermouth” tipica di Torino, per giungere al moderno rito sociale dell’“happy hour".
A lively book for those children who want to learn everything about the ancient Romans, Greeks end Egyptians. Many beautiful illustrations and fun comics throughout.
From the Hebrew name meaning “Who Is Like God?”, Michael is one of the angels–together with Raphael (“God Heals”) and Gabriel (“God Is My Strength”)–whose names are mentioned in the Holy Scripture. Since the first centuries of Christianity, there has been a wide diffusion of his worship in Europe and in the East through a multitude of sanctuaries and chapels, mostly nestled in high places, related to caves and water. An astonishing feature of this spread is a mysterious straight line crossing the European continent from North-West to South-East from Ireland to Asia Minor, and it is perfectly aligned with the sunset on the day of Summer Solstice. Along this line are seven sanctuaries dedicated to Michael, three of which have been significantly important over the centuries: Mont Saint-Michel in Normandy, the Sacra di San Michele in val di Susa and the Sanctuary of Monte Sant’Angelo on Mount Gargano, in Puglia. Three extraordinary high places that are all the same distance one from the other and which have always been a constant pilgrimage destination. Another aspect is the connection Saint Michael had with the Longobards, who migrated across Europe between the second and the sixth century until they reached Italy where they settled. This made Michael the first truly “European” Saint, attracting believers from all over the continent. With the contribution of some of the most important historians and medievalists from different European countries, this book depicts the presence of Saint Michael in Europe, starting with the diffusion of his devotion, especially during the Middle Ages, and extending to an analysis of the iconography of the Saint through the many architectural and artistic testimonies to be found throughout Europe. Thanks to its influential contributions and to the variety of both historical and iconographic topics, combined with the spectacular nature of the numerous images of places and artistic testimonies, this book is a unique journey through Europe between art and faith.
Those who love the sea want to hear its voice and see its colours. But they also want to touch it, smell it and, sometimes, taste a little salt water. Walking along the shoreline, perhaps barefoot, offers all the pleasures of the sea, especially in autumn, winter or spring, even in the wind and rain, or in summer at dawn or dusk in the noise and silence of the waves. Moments when the relationship with the Mediterranean is passionate and sensual, when the attraction for water becomes irresistible. The journey is interrupted for a dip or a swim, and then resumed with the smell of salt. Strolling along the shores is a simple and free way of 'sailing', but also of claiming the gratuitousness of the sea, in Marseilles as in Palermo, on the island of Ithaca as on the Gargano promontory. That is why the walk along the beaches and cliffs is today also a form of civil disobedience, a libertarian practice, to reclaim the joys of our daily sea.
