Domenico Baccarini - Ravenna

In honor of the centenary of his death the MAR Museum organized a retrospective dedicated to Domenico Baccarini, an extraordinarily talented artist who died at the early age of 24. The exhibition documents this Faenza artist’s precocious activity with aover 100 works, including paintings, drawings and sculptures. Between symbolism and art nouveau, Baccarini’s work passes through the great artistic currents of the early 20th century, with inflexions close to Segantini’s divisionism and with extremely modern accents that almost preannounce the chromatic elaborations of Severini, Balla and Boccioni. 

Pesto Championship - Genoa

Genoese Pesto has become the second sauce used worldwide to dress and season pasta. New recipes are widening its use , which is no longer limited to our national dish. It is strongly associated with Genoa and with Liguria and it is a wonderful promoter of image, however, the more widespread its consumption becomes in the world, with the inevitable contaminations, the more opportune it becomes to focalize the leadership for quality in Genoa. This is how the idea came about to organize a two-yearly appointment – in the form of a competition- among the true enthusiasts of the real Genoese Pesto produced, as tradition requires, in a mortar. We would like to emphasize the uniqueness of Genoese Pesto so that there always remains the memory of its origins and that its quality is always pursued through respect of the tradition.

A way of fleeing from the heat, confusion and exuberance of tourist localities – or simply a way of spending a holiday day a little differently.

Easter in Sicily

This festival dates back to the time of the Saracens: During the event, young unmarried men, the “schietti” - face off in an orange tree lifting competition. The tree is cut during a ceremony on Holy Saturday. It is then decorated with colored ribbons, scarves and little bells and it is carried to town by people who sing and play music. The competition is held on Easter Sunday. In the past, each competitor dedicated his efforts to his beloved. The young “schietti” wear typical costumes worn by ancient people of the Agrigento area of Sicily.
