The “Ciàcole de Bepi” are satirical poems in Venetian dialect where Bepi is Pope Pius X (1835-1914), described as a naive country priest in an easy-going and pungent way, with the intent on chattering about the issues of his time.
Olindo Guerrini, a versatile intellectual endowed with an extraordinary goliardic vein, was also a great poet, who used to write in various dialects.

We are in Dubai!
Let’s go to Expo 2021 in Dubai!
From February 28, 2022, the association “Laguna nel bicchiere – The rediscovered vineyards”, together with U.V.A. (Urban Vineyard Association) will join the Italian Pavilion, in the Piedmont Region area, at Expo 2021 Dubai.
We aim to increase awareness in urban vineyards, as an attempt to revive the city’s tourist vocation and improve the living standards of citizens.
The Urban Vineyard Association supports both very old vineyards, like the Venice vines, and the younger ones, like those of New York growing on top of large skyscrapers.
We share an interest in protecting the rural, historical and natural heritage in cultural and tourist terms.
In Expo 2021 Dubai, films and various reports about the range of attendees in U.V.A. will be shown. Moreover, meetings will be held with tour operators and potential supporters.
Laguna nel bicchiere will display a full array of photos and instructional videos. View the English version at the following address:
Join U.V.A. lecture on Wednesday 2 March at h.1.30 pm (European time) in the Italian Pavilion. The event will also be available in live streaming at the link:
