Parte la prima edizione di Cibovagare, l’evento dei prodotti artigianali sostenibili che si terrà dal 16 al 18 marzo 2024 in una vecchia filanda, genius loci dell’artigianalità, trasformata nel polo fieristico Fiere di Santa Lucia di Piave (TV). che ogni anno propone ricette che sono il frutto di anni di sperimentazioni in cucina da parte di chef locali, cultori della carne di rana, come la “Rana imperiale”, al forno con guazzetto di pomodoro e polentina, o il risotto alla polpa di rana e i tortelli di rana conditi con burro e salvia,le deliziose brioche e mille altre specialità di Santa Lucia del Piave e dintorni ,

Cibovagare, sarà una kermesse che si svilupperà su tre giornate, con un calendario ricco di esperienze, talk e degustazioni per immergersi in una selezione dei migliori produttori italiani che hanno fatto dell’artigianalità e della sostenibilità, nel variegato mondo del food and drink, il loro credo.


“Ne abbiamo conosciuti tanti, cibovagando per l’Italia nei nostri tour gastronomici” commentano Francesca Palenzona, Amministratore Delegato di Idea Plus, la società organizzatrice, e Cristina Rombolà, coordinatrice del portale Cibovagare®. “Ed è per rendere accessibile a tutti queste meraviglie, anche a chi non ha sempre la possibilità di viaggiare alla scoperta del più autentico Made in Italy, che abbiamo pensato di raccogliere in un unico momentum una selezione delle eccellenze e delle storie dei loro artefici.”.

Nobile l’obiettivo degli organizzatori: annullare le distanze tra chi produce, chi distribuisce e chi consuma, creando un incontro dal vivo fatto di assaggio, di ascolto di storie appassionanti e di cultura del mangiare e del cucinare bene e di qualità.
La manifestazione sarà arricchita da talk, che si susseguiranno nelle tre giornate e dalla visita agli espositori, attivi in tutta la filiera e provenienti da tante regioni italiane: dalle farine venete di Molino Rachello, main partner dell’evento e oggi alla sesta generazione, nate in un parco naturale sulle sponde del fiume Sile, 100% biologiche, italiane e tracciabili con il progetto Oasi, che coinvolge oltre 30 aziende nazionali; ai prosciutti di Langhirano dei Fratelli Pelizziari, azienda a conduzione familiare,

nata nel 1974 dal sogno di zio Enio di produrre prosciutto di ottima qualità; a Gelmini, azienda agricola della Val di Gresta, con la sua filiera di ortaggi coltivati in biologico, raccolti a mano e poi trasformati artigianalmente, con lo scopo di preservare la biodiversità del territorio e investire sulla sostenibilità economica e ambientale; Un’area food consentirà di prolungare la permanenza nella fiera: oltre agli assaggi e agli acquisti nel mercato degli artigiani del gusto, ci sarà la possibilità di mangiare in loco piatti e street food somministrati da alcuni espositori e ristoratori.

Tutt’intorno, trionfa un vero anfiteatro di vigne dove nascono molte varietà di vini (Barbera d’Asti, Grignolino, Viognier, Monferrato Nebbiolo) e “last but not least” il Ruchè docg, un rosso prodotto da un vitigno autoctono, rinato grazie alle ricerche di Franco Morando. Vengono lavorate le particelle più selezionate come il Ruché Laccento e il Ruché Limpronta e 12 mesi di legno per avere la Docg







Varcata la porta di ingresso il visitatore può immergersi in un concentrato di storia, leggenda, natura ed ancora arte, profumi e aromi.






Here is an extremely elegant, silky, warm wine on the palate, with a great balance that reflects the international taste of the modern taster and attentive to innovative pleasures, matured in steel tanks and subsequently bottled positioned horizontally at a controlled temperature, Ruchè is a wine with an unmistakable character with a bright garnet red colour, pleasant floral hints of rose and violet, fruity notes of apricot and the spiciness that emerges with evolution making it immediately recognizable in the glass
















Abbondante vino e cucina casalinga non mancano mai negli spettacoli dei Legnasi…



The new title for the 2023-2024 season already promises guaranteed fun, with the comedy and tradition of I LEGNANESI grappling with a commandment that is more current than ever. The Colombos’ adventure begins with them taking part in a charity competition and winning the “temporary adoption” of a problematic boy with an incredibly overwhelming character. And it is precisely in this way that Carmine becomes part of the Colombo family, overwhelming everyone… Teresa and Giovanni’s task will be to reintegrate the boy into society by providing him with the solid foundations and essential moral principles to live honestly, while Mabilia’s task will be to dress the role as “big sister”.
Brock, grande specialista della sonorizzazione di pellicole dal vivo, è particolarmente vicino alla produzione di Chaplin: nel 1999, infatti, la Fondazione Chaplin lo incarica di restaurare la partitura originale di Tempi moderni. “Ne Il grande dittatore, racconta Brock, Chaplin ha la tendenza a mettere la musica sullo sfondo anche più del necessario, probabilmente perché affascinato dalla novità di poter giocare con diversi elementi del cinema con cui non aveva mai lavorato prima. Le parti in cui la musica è in primo piano riguarda partiture che non sono scritte da Chaplin, bensì da Wagner – la scena di Hynkel che gioca con il mondo – o da Brahms – la scena del taglio di barba e capelli, tipica del muto. Ma permettere al pubblico di ascoltare i brani eccellenti scritti da Chaplin altrimenti inudibili è un grande onore e una grande opportunità.”
E ancora, una rigorosa linea a base di marce militari, musica da parata e tableaux musicali pseudo-greci per rappresentare il parodistico Adenoid Hynkel, oltre a una marcia di tarantella per accompagnare la scena dell’arrivo alla stazione ferroviaria di Benzino Napaloni (la parodia di Benito Mussolini).
Get ready to dive into a lively, colorful universe full of surprises, amazing numbers and infinite talent! You will be transported to the world of Cuba, with its colors, its lights, the dances, the songs, the music and the incredible professionalism of 42 tireless artists who, all in one breath, without interruptions, accompanied by an exceptional live band led by by a splendid singer.
Cuba has always played a leading role in the field of music: it is here that some of the most beautiful genres were born such as son (one of the fathers of all Cuban rhythms), mambo and above all salsa, a truly national rhythm, which is danced practically at any time of the day.
Skaters, acrobats, dancers, trapeze jugglers and an explosion of you and energy will amaze you, entertain you and leave you speechless with amazing numbers without interruption, and it is precisely this “non-stop show” that will keep you glued to your seats, hypnotized by the skill and, let me tell you, by the undeniable beauty and sensuality of the protagonists.
Organized by the Casartelli family of Medrano in agreement with the Ministry of Culture of Cuba, the show mixes dance, folklore and circus arts on rhumba, merengue, cha cha cha and salsa rhythms and melodies, presenting itself as a colorful invitation to joy and a powerful remedy for the darkness.
For this evocative show, the best artists from the most famous circus school in Havana have been selected: everyone will share the stage, inviting the public to celebrate with joy and good humor their entry into this island full of joy, beautiful people and natural beauty.
And it is precisely through music, dance, singing and circus that this show takes shape with artists selected from the best in Cuba for a two-hour show suitable for the whole family.
The show is hosted by an eclectic clown who transforms into a juggler even Michael Jackson, just to amuse the audience, involve the spectators and to give the prop makers, often aided by the artists themselves, the opportunity to assemble platforms showing a great solidarity among all the performers who in perfect timing and harmony assemble trapezoids, ladders and everything needed for performances in the air.
The costumes are dazzling, from the pirates who invade the dance floor, to the white and gold uniforms, to the sinuous dancers who compete in human pyramids.
Muscles, smiles, love, joy, companionship and beauty come together in a seductive show that, for an afternoon or a night, ..will take you far away….


























Diaghilev, Nijinsky, Massine, Pina Bausch, Martha Graham, Kenneth MacMillan, Maurice Béjart, Natalia Kasatkina and Vladimir Vasiliev those are just few names of extraordinary choreographers who were enchanted by Igor Stravinskij’s The Rite of Spring,

Ernst Knam, born in 1963, German by birth and Milanese by adoption, after numerous years spent in the kitchens of the greatest starred and prestigious restaurants in the world, arrives in Italy and enters the kitchen of Gualtiero Marchesi as Master Pastry Chef, the last step in his training before starting the entrepreneurial activity.

Great album, top voice with soul influences, excellent work, beautiful love stories, respect and love for one’s origins, inner strength, defiance of risk. confirmation of the value of love and life.
Among the authors of the album also Giovanni Caccamo who wrote ” CHI SIAMO DAVVERO”(Who we really are) and Lorenzo Vizzini “TACCHI A SPILLO” ( High Heels) In confirmation of the single cover, boasting red shoes, we got “Mi rubi l’anima” written together with her brother Rosario where Marcella, in a duet with her friend and singer Loredana Bertè, deals with the theme of violence against women with delicacy and sensitivity
.Among my favorite songs CHI SIAMO DAVVERO (WHO WE ARE REALLY) (well defined by a very current musical construction) SOFFER, SOFFER (SOFFRI SOFFRI) (which takes me vaguely to the wonderful “Killing Me Softly” by Roberta Flack) A SPECIAL LOVE (UN AMORE SPECIALE) (very Marcella’s style) and the catchy L’ ETNA.
Milan, from 15 November to 10 December 2023, the Teatro Nazionale Che Banca! will host CABARET the MUSICAL, the new eagerly awaited production that will transport the public to the wild Berlin of the 1930s, one step away from the advent of Nazism, among excesses, deprivation of freedom, decadence and daily contradictions, in a distant historical moment but at the same time also very current time. IIrreverent, spicy, spectacular, funny, cinematic,


The action takes place in Berlin, in the midst of the economic depression , with its cabarets, its brothels, its frenetic nightlife, its incredible artistic currents that made this capital the melting pot of artists, free thinkers and ordinary people, most of whom were unaware of the advent of Nazism.
You will be transported in the Kit Kat Klub, featuring the flamboyant Maitre of Cemonies (Arturo Brachetti) an Italian artist, famous and acclaimed throughout the world, uniquely considered the great Master of international transformism. . His career began in Paris, where, as the only quick-change artist in the world, he reinvented and brought back the forgotten art of Fregoli, becoming for years the flagship attraction of Paradis Latin, Paris.


Davide Livermore,
“The wonderful thing about the original work dated 1800, says Livermore, is an extraordinary investigation into women within power and the power itself. Mary Stuart, Catholic Queen of Scots, and the Protestant Elizabeth of England create an incredible example of two women managing to be themselves while taking on different modalities even if they are not strictly feminine” 
Amazing: the actresses exchange roles every evening.
The almost three hours of show pass quickly thanks to a very fluid staging, a high but modern language, a plot dated centuries ago but particularly current and therefore engaging. Livermore, a genius as Opera Director, aims to validate the rapprochement between opera and prose.
A surprising, unexpecetd gran finale: all cast singing and dancing the Eurythmics hit “Sweet Dreams are made made of this…Who am I to disagree..
In the heart of super trendy Chelsea, a stone’s throw from the fashionable Kings Road, I discovered a restaurant that marries tradition, innovation and creativity with a simple and confident attitude. It is
Phil has always cooked with harmony of flavour being his absolute mantra – and this being achieved through classical flavours and rigorously seasonal and ingredient-led cooking. None of this has changed at Elystan Street but an increased focus on vegetables and a lightness of touch now prevails.
With over 30 years of experience in running some of London’s finest and most respected neighbourhood restaurants Rebecca Mascarenhas brings her immense experience and passion to Elystan Street. As a pro restaurant goer she has not only amassed a hard-earned diner’s opinion but a perspective to help ensure that her own businesses never rest on their laurels.
featuring italian inspired dishes such as burrata with black cabbage and anchovy, garlic & orange dressing, veal with tuna sauce, gnocchetti with smashed sausage, white wine, fennel & chilli, pumpkin & chestnut ravioli with pine nuts, brown butter, sage & parmesan, just to name few. Phil’s prerogative is using 100% classic flavors, which doesn’t mean not being creative, but invites freshness, therefore tradition without being too heavy.

What better choice than the Euganean Hills and the village of Arquà, where he lived the last years of his life with his family. He fall in love with this land, considered the green and literary heart of the Veneto, where physical places and places of the soul coincide to this once marshy territory that the poet dedicates some words in one of his letters, remembered in one of the literary plaques of the route of the via poetica of the Petrarca Park
“Since in no other way can you so adorn the appearance of a beautiful region and thus restore the Euganean Hills besieged by these marshes, widely known and noble for the branches of Minerva and the very fruitful branch of an illustrious Bacchus, to their true appearance of excellent land, and indeed restore fertile fields to Ceres, which is excluded from it , who are now oppressed by a foul and excessive mood”
Thanks to him that many writers and poets were attracted to this territory which then impressed them so much that it became the setting for many of their works, from Byron to Andrea Zanzotto, Mary and Percy Shelley, d’Annunzio and many others who were inspired by the enchantment of these rolling hills.


Pay a visit to the Evo del Borgo oil mill, which among the many oils could not miss the laurel oil, a plant loved by the poet, a symbol of fame and celebrity, then the Loreggian Winery that aims to enhance the cultural context also in wine, given that the main wine labels feature phrases from the poet.

This journey is enriched by an artifact from 1923, a navigation basin which is among the largest in Europe and which allows a drop of water of 7 meters . You will pass through the river village for an interesting perspective that could only be from the water, for this village which owes its fame to it.
Water which was important for the activity of the Baths, whose history we will tell and then for the commercial activity of the boatmen, who managed tons of goods transported on the typical “burci” which are still on display in the widespread museum

WEEKEND PREMIUM 




Balletto di Milano boasts a young and fierce cast, starting with the couple Amanda Hall and Emmanuel Ippolito who gave us a lively moment from “Flames of Paris, the remarkable chemistry between the very young Annamaria Maestri (Juliet) and the fiery Mattia Imperatore (Romeo), Alessia Sasso and Alessando Orlando in their sultry pas de deux from Ravel’s Notre-Dame-d de Paris.
Among them the most applauded couple was Paloma Bonnin whose dizzying fouettes were truly incalculable, perhaps more than the notorius 32… and her partner GianManuel d’Elia engaged in Petipa’s historic choreography for “Corsaire”
The highly anticipated BARBIE movie is out, at its best at the beginning and end, but, in my opinion, undone by a middle section where gags give way to issues about patriarchy, puberty, feminism and existentialism
