Ciao a tutti e buon 2015!
La settimana scorsa è stato pubblicato un mio nuovo post per "Berlino Cacio e Pepe", il cui tema è la rassegna "Torino incontra Berlino", che avrà luogo tra gennaio e marzo di quest'anno proprio a Torino.
Inutile dirvi quanto mi faccia piacere che questa serie di eventi si svolga proprio nella mia città! Spero di poter prendere parte a molti, vediamo cosa mi concederà il tempo :)
Intanto vi lascio il link all'articolo:
Buona lettura!

Hi Everybody! Happy 2015!
Last week I wrote a new post for the on line magazine Berlino Cacio e Pepe, it is about the series of exhibitions and events which is taking place in Turin (from January to March 2015) and that is called "Torino incontra Berlino" (Turin meets Berlin).
As my article in the magazine is in Italian only, I'm more than glad to provide you with an English version here.
9th November 2014 was the 25th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall (I wrote a couple of posts here too: "25th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall" and "Fall of the Berlin Wall: my little memory") and the city of Turin celebrated it with a special evening at the Teatro Regio, with music, readings and pictures. This was not an isolated event, but one of the main focuses of "Torino incontra Berlino".
Leaflet of "Torino incontra Berlino"
The idea at the basis of the connection between the two cities is the path they have been following to overcome two difficult historical and economical moments: post war reconstruction, for Berlin, and industrial crisis for Turin.
The history of the German capital and the one of the main Piedmont's city are different, but both have decided to combine urban requalification to a cultural regeneration of the territory.
"Torino incontra Berlino" is offering a wide variety of meetings, exhibitions and performances, which cover music, art, science, philosophy, cinema, theatre dramas, language and literature. Moving from Goethe to Wim Wenders, from Tobias Rehberger's and Rebecca Horn's lights to Sven Marquardt's personal exposition, the viewer will experience German art and knowledge, shown in the cultural locations of Turin.
In occasion of "Torino incontra Berlino", Turin's Goethe Institut will offer an ad hoc German class, addressed to people who already have a good basic knowledge of the language, focussed on Berlin.
The logo and billboard of the event are also worth special attention: a bull, symbol of Turin, and a bear, Berlin's icon, which seem to walk one towards the other. Under this image, it is quoted one of John Kennedy's best known sentences: Ich bin ein Berliner.
Personally, I am really happy that my city is hosting such complete cultural exhibition about my favourite city, I hope I will be able to attend as many events as possible.

Enjoy!
Mary
