Concert by the violinist Paolo Bernardo

On Saturday April 22nd at h.7.30 pm, in the church of S. Francesco della Vigna, “maestro” Paolo Bernardo will perform a concert of Bach’s sonatas for solo violin. The concert is dedicated to our association “Laguna nel bicchiere”.

Paolo is Mario Bernardo’s son, the partisan known as Radiosa Aurora; Paolo holds the violin chair at the Bolzano Music Conservatory, and is the only Italian violinist working at the Odessa High Violin School, the first one in the history of this prestigious institution.
On the day dedicated to his father we were pleased to taste the “Radiosa Aurora” wine with Paolo, produced by Terre di Gaia farm.

Guided tour of the exhibition:
“A Romagnolo in the Veneto, the ciàcole de Bepi”

On Wednesday January 25th, at h.3.00 pm, guided tour of the exhibition “A Romagnolo in the Veneto, le ciàcole de Bepi” at the Marciana Library.

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.

The visit will be conducted by Dr. Elisabetta Sciarra, coordinator of the Cataloging and Development Department of the Marciana National Library collections, and by Maurizio Vittoria. The “Ciàcole de Bepi” book will be distributed to visitors at the end of the tour.

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:
