Maison Musique 2008-2009

Concerts, theatrical festivals, creative improvisations, emerging music festivals, Argentinian Tango Milongas: the season of the “Casa della Musica” (Music House) of Rivoli (To) is a kind of “call to arms”, an invitation to “cultural activism”, in the name of art and freedom of expression.

Ur sunu - Grandi dottori dell’Antico Egitto

In Casale Monferrato, inside the Palazzo Sannazzaro, an exhibition is on display that retraces the history of medicine, going backwards through time from contemporary days to the dawn of civilisation. The exhibit, open until December 21, is presenting many finds related to the land of the Pharaohs.

Sguardi in macchina

A prestigious cross between the Museo del Cinema and Torino’s Teatro Stabile is resulting in the Sguardi in Macchina (Glances in the machine) exhibit also known as an innovative dialogue between the scheduled films at Cinema Massino and the performances slated by the Torino-based foundation.

La Bohème, from the Regio theatre to a tour throughout the region

After last summer’s success at the Serre Reali of the Racconigi Castle, Torino’s Teatro Regio will be touring with the historical set of Puccini’s opera designed by Eugenio Guglielminetti.

Regio: 2008-09 Concerts

This season’s featured star is the 20th century in all of its multi-formed manifestations. From the great Stravinsky classics to late 19th century Mahler to Prokofiev without overlooking jazz, soundtracks and the latest revelations from the world of contemporary music.

Peggy Guggenheim e la nuova pittura americana

Open until March 1, 2009, the Arca exposition area of Vercelli will be hosting the exhibit “Peggy Guggenheim e la nuova pittura americana”, the second part of a grand, unique, ideal expositional project which began last year with the success of “Peggy Guggenheim e l’immaginario surreale”.

Places

Biblioteca Reale di Torino

The Biblioteca Reale (Royal Library) houses important collections of manuscripts, illuminated manuscripts, and engravings. Besides its 2,000 drawings, it has several drawings by Leonard Da Vinci, among which are: the Self-Portrait, the Volto dell’Angelo (the Angel’s Face), the preliminary drawing for the Vergine delle Rocce (Virgin of the Rocks), and the Codice sul Volo (Codex on the Flight of Birds).

Historical Wine Cellars in Canelli

The wine cellars – which hold ancient barrels perfectly lined-up – have brick arches, lowered large round arches connected to each other by tunnels that reach into the layers and strata of earth which have formed over the centuries.

Forte di Vinadio

Requested by Re Carlo Alberto, the Forte (Fort) di Vinadio represents one of the most important examples of military architecture from the Alps. It extends length-wise for 1,200 meters, on three levels, which cover about 10 km of interior passageway.

People

Nanni Moretti

"It seems to me that Torino had a rush of pride with the winter Olympics; I remember that during that time, I would hear a lot of people surprised at the city’s reawakening: that feeling is still there."

Alessandro Del Piero

"Torino is the city where I arrived at 18 and where I became a man, where I bought my house and fit it to suit me over the years, where the friends I see live, the city where my wife was born."

Wim Wenders

"I could live in Torino if they offered me an office on the top floor of the Mole Antonelliana, a location perfect for a director."
