New review for "dinner show" of I Portici Hotel Bologna
exceptional location for an initiative that has all the credentials to provide a diversion for people who know how to reconcile dinner and after dinner, culinary pleasures, socializing and art in various artistic expressions.
must start by saying that we are talking about a particular hotel, a place born of dedicated attention to detail, easily accessible (via Independence begins, under the portico, near the parking VIII August) and equipped for every need, from "minimal" necessary to hospitality, to the variety of spaces and initiatives for the organization of events, business meetings and conferences, from classic wedding special at the time of association, etc..
spaces which include the former palace of ice Maccaferri, must-see at the first opportunity, reliving the tunnels dug and used as a private retreat last world war.
And then the Eden Theatre - restored in 1899 and a reference point of the Belle Epoque Bologna - precisely the place where you "dinner show" the original review that I Portici reproduce annually identifying the criteria of originality, even in continuity, trying to reconcile the inspiration Guido Haverkock executive with the timing of performance art, music, theater from time to time offered to the public.
What's New on this edition of 2011 - opened February 26 and ongoing until April 30 - the show in English by Giorgio Como, its tried and tested Murder by Death "and the house of Madame Puarò Clicot," which finally seems accommodate the opening of international Bologna tourism, the growing interest in our city - its events, business opportunities, trade fairs and cultural attractions - from a foreign audience that then, at the end of the day, is very few entertainment alternatives.
Here, then, a happy intuition, which, among other things, it says the actor George Comaschi available to respond to the request of groups, groups, organizations involving just tourists from abroad. Coming

Put A Face In A Hairstyle
Wine, Research, our hills .. The biological
is not easy to imagine tomorrow's agriculture in a world that moves with the pace we are seeing, where everything is increasingly "global" and thus depersonalized .. There is talk of buying a km.0 of typical local products ... but what all this really comes to our tables? Diffuse reflections, of course, perhaps most common among those who have had the opportunity to enjoy the country living with grandparents, parents, in times gone by .. and that already seem a distant memory!
Well, wandering here and there, I realized that there are those who continue to produce works for "our", which seeks to identify methods and techniques more effective, but always with an eye for those who must eat, drink, choose products of these lands ..
This time it comes to wine, we are in the hills of Romagna, but looking at the internet I'm sure no shortage of examples for each variety and context ..
then .. cheers!

Free Animated Birthday Balloons
in Italy ..
This year I made a visit to the Healthy, Natural Food Fair held in Bologna in early September. A beautiful
fair, although more and more "commercial", which is an appointment to qualified professionals but is mainly an original way, nice to bring all the public, consumers, ordinary people to a healthy diet, an abundance of local produce, Italian , which are part of our tradition and featuring the famous Mediterranean diet is famous throughout the world.
One thing that struck me is just how the food, some homegrown productions are now a marketing element of the made in Italy: parmesan, parma ham, balsamic vinegar, but also processed food, tortellini, tagliatelle with meat sauce and pasta in general! These are the things that, together with unique historical and artistic beauty, foreigners know our country!
And this year I learned that 76 thousand hectares of agricultural land in Emilia Romagna are dedicated to organic farming: a new focus on natural, a return to more sustainable modes of cultivation, breeding, protection from pests, production processes, thanks to new technologies and research can bring benefits to our health.
A nice discovery, against the trend in relation to the spread of fast-food lunches at his desk, made of single pieces to suit all needs, but which leave nothing to the imagination and more and more packaging in our baskets. .
local market, buying farm products km.0, there are many steps that manufacturers, institutions, consortia and other actors in the chain are proposing to return to our good habits ..
Because in the end "we are what we eat" - quoting the philosopher Ludwig Feuerbach - and rediscover the real taste of things to find the time it takes to best enjoy even a simple fruit, remember the toil of those who cultivate it, work the land, following year-round crops, here .. I think the best way to understand a bit 'more.
One idea that began in Sana, but now when he takes me around the hills around Bologna, full of cottages, farms educational fields difficult, certainly, but also to cultivate in the fall shows vines laden with grapes, promising and making great wines back to mind the days of harvest with grandparents, uncles, all the relatives of large extended families in a time when to cultivate a good field, a plot to ensure sufficient food for all , served many arms .. now often aided by ever more advanced machines.
Well, this year there will be other opportunities to pursue these reflections, as the Emilia-Romagna Region has decided to propose the initiative for Open Farm every weekend in October!
A time to discover the country, with its rhythms, with the whole family!
A tip for anyone who had never tried: www.fattorieaperte-er.it
good trip ... in quality time!
