The “Jazz & Wine in Montalcino” festival is certainly one of the most prestigious jazz events in Italy – the excellence of music, wine and foods. The festival was founded with the help of Castello Banfi, a member of the Hotel Relais Consortium and exclusive winery of Montalcino, deeply bound to the territory and its traditions.

Leading Jazz musicians from around the globe gather to serenade aficionado and novice alike enjoying fine wines in the suggestive environment of the medieval fortress and its civic counterpart in the nearby village of Montalcino. The month-long summer festival also has an abbreviated winter version, and occasional classical music concerts are planned as well.

Sulle orme di Michelangelo in Versilia

Con l’arrivo della bella stagione, crescono le occasioni di regalarsi una vacanza al mare in Toscana, magari in Versilia.

Perchè non abbinarla a un itinerario alla scoperta di uno dei materiali più pregiati da sempre simbolo dell’architettura e dell’artigianato toscano?

Il Marmo, prezioso minerale usato sin dal tempo dei Romani e dei Greci, impiegato per l’edificazione di chiese ed opere sacre (il Duomo di Carrara, Il Battistero ed il Duomo di Pisa), pavimentazioni, ornamento di edifici. Il Marmo ci racconta da sempre storie di uomini, di coloro che con fatica e ingegno “strappavano” il minerale alla roccia e di coloro che, con genio e creatività, “strappavano” forme dagli enormi blocchi.
Di certo l’uomo che meglio seppe esaltare i pregi di questo freddo minerale fu proprio Michelangelo Buonarroti, che visse per 3 anni in Versilia, per seguire personalmente i lavori di estrazione dalla cava, ancora attiva, che prende proprio il Suo nome.

Vogliamo celebrare il marmo, ricchezza della nostra terra e della nostra cultura, invitandovi a seguirci in questo viaggio affascinante, per strade ed paesaggi dall’atmosfera magica (le colline Toscane, le cave e Carrara) dove tutto ha origine per poi trasformarsi, come per incanto, con l’abile lavoro degli artigiani (le boutique del marmo ed il suo Museo), con il seguente programma:
