The wine experts and fans’ yearly meeting is back!

Montalcino invites everyone, especially professionals in wine and food sectors, in Siena’s lands to celebrate the marketing of the new, world-famous red wine, the Brunello of Montalcino.

Become famous only in 50′s, this wine is extracted by vineyards of a particular kind of Sangiovese, the Sangiovese Grosso, different from the others for its darker grapes.

In 2009 the Bauhaus celebrated its 90th anniversary of existence. For this occasion, the Palazzo Ducale of Genoa hosts, from October 2009 until February 14th, 2010, a retrospective exhibition of one of the most important artists from this school: Otto Hofmann.
The exhibition shows us a wide historic path of life of the artist through his work which definently left its mark on the vanguard of the XX century.
Otto Hofmann tells a story of a difficult life, in a very turbulent period which started in the thirties of the XX century, during his stay at the Bauhaus of Dessau. The story continues through years of the Nazi domination and censorship when a lot of his work was confiscated and accused as degenerated art. Then follows the time of the full immersion in the War and the imprisonment in Russia. A precious collection of watercolor paintings shows us the artist’s feelings and state of mind, horrified by the chaos that was spread all over the Europe.
