TASTE LABORATORY IN THE HEART OF VENICE

A new space that didn't exist yet where taste intertwines with music, art, history and photography to bring together enthusiasts, the curious and lovers of food and wine. It is ENOLOGISMI , a project strongly supported by Laura Riolfatto, visual artist, sommelier and wine&food stylist , which will inaugurate on 20 January 2024 in San Pietro di Castello , a corner of Venice waiting to be discovered, which has maintained its authenticity by escaping mass tourism. A neologism, ENOLOGISMI, which identifies a thought and a new "cultural-oenological" movement.

ENOLOGISMI is a space returned to the city thanks to a skilful recovery by Francesco Cucchini , owner of Cantieri Cucchini, and is part of the _docks_ cantieri cucchini , squeri and shipyards built between the 19th and 20th centuries, which have now become splendid exhibition spaces .

From 20 January to 30 March 2024 there will be many events scheduled , from exhibitions to photography courses, from literary or musical tastings to meetings to discover the culture of the table up to vegetarian and vegan cuisine.

« ENOLOGISMI will have the aim of making known, through tasting, tasting, storytelling and photography, some of the Italian food and wine excellences , crossing the identity of the suitable territories , through the companies and people who dedicate themselves every day to the our agriculture to make it ever better ." Says the creator of the project, Laura Riolfatto .

It will begin on January 20th at 11:00 with the inauguration of the photographic exhibition "The aesthetics of suspended time Porto Marghera project" by Andrea Morucchio created in collaboration with the Landscape Museum of Torre di Mosto .
