La Spezia, at the exhibition tasting fine wines: Tastin' Paintings, an event combining art and wine, is back

After the successful experience in several museums last year, a new edition of Tastin’ Paintings returns to CAMeC - Center for Modern and Contemporary Art in La Spezia, the event that combines art and wine in a new way of museum visit and tasting of performative and collective type, in which to learn about both the current exhibitions and the wine heritage. The public, accompanied by two experts, one of art and one of wine, will dwell on certain focal points of the works on display, embarking on a journey to learn more about the works on display and particular wines specially chosen for the occasion on the basis of perceptive and territorial affinities and convergences.

The new edition will take place at CAMeC on Saturday, May 18 in two shifts, at 7 and 9 p.m., and will accompany the three exhibitions currently running at the La Spezia museum: From Vedova to Vedova.The Graphic Work of Emilio Vedova from the Albicocco Collection, Mondino in Color. Painting from the Beginnings to Linoleum, and Aidyn Zeinalov. My Way to Italy. A History in Spice.

The Tastin’ Paintings project, the brainchild of art historian Luca Bochicchio and oenologist and taster Jacopo Fanciulli, is inspired by the Futurist synecdoche and the overbearing entry of polysensoriality into twentieth-century art and will allow participants to “taste” the works and “see” the wine. “Imagine discovering the secrets of the most fascinating paintings of Italian and international art,” the creators emphasize, “through the taste buds. Colors and images mingle in the mind just as wine caresses and tickles the tongue and palate. The psychological, intellectual and emotional fulfillment given by the beauty of a work of art culminates in the happy and relaxed intoxication of a glass of wine, tasted and sipped in all its fullness.” The basis of the project is the study of connections and common roots between works of art and wines, chosen on the basis of precise territorial or cultural relationships.

The performance takes place directly in the halls of the museum and makes it possible to read and taste art and wine in a dynamic, informal and surprising way, while keeping the quality of information and method of analysis firm. In fact, the contents are absolutely rigorous and scientific, the result of years of study and work of the two guides. The goal is cultural enrichment and mediation, the transmission of knowledge and the activation of autonomous critical paths. To learn more you can visit the project’s Facebook page.
