(In)different Journey
A project of training, experimentation and study of theatrical tools to be shared with disabled people.
From astrophysicist Margherita Hack to Nobel Prize winner for Economics Eric Maskin, as well as Mario Monicelli, Tim Parks and Piero Angela, these are just some of the guests who have taken part in Sorsid’autore over the past twenty years. An event that highlights the region’s wine and food excellence, represented by labels such as Amarone, Valpolicella and Prosecco, through tastings and meetings in some of the Venetian Villas, one of the world’s greatest cultural treasure, some of which are UNESCO World Heritage Sites.Moderated by leading journalists, the guests are well-known names, catalysts of a trusted audience.
The meetings are accompanied by tastings of the region’s excellent wines introduced by the sommeliers of AIS Veneto, guided tours of the villas and afternoon appointments with taste.
2016 saw the start of the association with Vinitaly and the City, which hosts a preview of the event outside the exhibition.The public is thus the protagonist of a unique event capable of offering a multi-sensorial experience with many facets where wine and culture find a common denominator in Sorsid’autore, in the splendid setting of the historic centre of Verona, one of the reference points for regional wine production.
