Wine. Mythology and Culture

The pages of this book offer a dual itinerary for those who would like to learn more abut the history of the vine and of wine. The first one uses texts to give readers an in-depth look at historic subjects and periods. The second one relies on images from a vast collection of pictures to guide readers through the Wine Museum of Torgiano.

This is an uncommon tapestry whose leitmotif arose from the decision to create something other than a monographic catalogue. At the same time, it stems from the desire to publish a book that would reflect a museum whose name seemingly indicates an agricultural institution but that is actually an interdisciplinary venue.

Elegantly bound in large format, Wine, Mythology and Culture is also enriched with high quality pictures by Marco Ravenna who specializes in still-life museum photography.
