A museum dedicated to the town on Lake Orta’s most famous son is born in Omegna (Verbania): it is the Rodari Museum a multimedia museum centered on the figure of the great children’s writer designers from auroraMeccanica who created the museum layouts Bianchetti Architettura for the architectural design and Studio Grand Hotel who oversaw the graphic design leads visitors to experience new models of teaching and dissemination of intangible heritage all based on a novel narrative itinerary on the life and poetics of Gianni Rodari The Rodari Museum officially opens its doors on October 23 on the occasion of the 101th anniversary of Gianni Rodari’s birth in the context of a Children’s Literature Festival dedicated to him and now in its eighth edition.The Rodari Museum is located in the heart of Omegna’s historic center and is reached by taking a small uphill road the stream that runs through the town (a rare example of a watercourse that flows northward in the area) and is one of the symbols of Cusio The first room of the museum is designed to welcome the public and contextualize the area: the visitor is confronted with an arched portal that recalls Omegna’s porticoes and a projection of the Nigoglia that rises in height to recall Rodari’s famous motto “La Nigoia la va in su e la legg la fouma nu.” In this first area the history of the area is told: on the one hand the significant places of Lake Orta related to Gianni Rodari’s thoughts and quotations and on the other the creative character of Omegna told through the companies and design objects born in Omegna The next room is dedicated to Rodari’s life: it is an intimate room with soft lighting characterized by a large wall projection and a low table on which are a series of objects: notebooks Each object is active: the visitor can touch it to activate a story The object thus becomes an evocative symbol and a pretext for creating a romantic connection with the first-person narratives of the Omegna author a wall panel draws Rodari’s life line interweaving it with historical events in Italy and around the world The visitor continues the visit to the second floor accompanied by the projection of the river flowing upward on the wall of the staircase as if guiding visitors along the tour route The first installation on the second floor “A single pole is not enough to produce a spark The single word acts only when it encounters a second one that provokes it to discover new capacities of meaning.” The installation invites visitors to choose two words (e.g. “Mustache” and “Flower”) and make a conceptual connection by joining them together This is done by using two colored “plugs,” two poles that activate a luminous electrical circuit and give rise to a graphic animation that highlights some imaginative phrases (e.g “The flower under the mustache,” “The flower wanted a mustache,” “The mustache imitated the flower.. the visitor is confronted with two large installations On the left is a giant television(Ad Inventar storie) where one is called upon to mix environments and characters from Rodari’s most famous stories to once again create new logic and new connections with imagination The wall becomes a show in which one can find Baron Lambert interacting with the pie in the sky or Alice cascherina in the ice cream palace with the rocking horse and a cat depending on the audience’s chosen combinations (“Sbagliando s’inventa,” Rodari said) one stops to observe the large rotary press system of Fables in Reverse: an analog mechanism with rollers gears and ribbon reminiscent of the newspaper press the visitor will be able to move the entire machinery the writing printed on the ribbon begins to move and it is impossible to tell what is written on it The mirror present in the center of the system is the key to understanding the fable The last room is dedicated to one large installation: the Library of Fantasy A real wall bookcase high to the ceiling and two lecterns arranged on the sides On the shelves are about 300 blank books representing a Rhodesian anthology a pulsating light brings them to life and distinguishes them from the others Touching one of them activates a videomapping over the entire bookcase and a short story dedicated to a key theme of Rodarian thought: At the Table The more intimate and self-contained side stations are devoted to magazines on one side (The Children’s Courier and The Better Way) and covers from around the world on the other a number of disk telephones are distributed through which the visitor can listen again to Accountant Bianchi’s Fables on the Telephone By lifting the handset and dialing the number in the phone book one can listen to a fable in Italian or foreign languages directly from the handset “As Gianni Rodari pointed out in The Book of Mistakes,” say Mayor Paolo Marchioni and Culture Councillor Sara Rubinelli “’What you don’t know is always more important than what you do know.’ The hope is that as we walk through the spaces of1 Rodari Museum we discover or re-discover concepts and tools to strengthen our emotional and social intelligence Because achieving ideals is not a goal for individual riders but a team game where each of us can make our own move “Almost certainly,” Pino Boero points out “Gianni Rodari would have been able to joke in front of the creation of a museum dedicated to him defined by Tullio De Mauro as ’a classic,’ he went around the editorial office of Paese Sera with a tag hanging from his jacket that said ’I am a classic.’ In our case Gianni would have written smilingly ’I am a Museum’ and perhaps he would have manifested concern that he would end up in some old nineteenth-century museum display case... None of this because the Rodari Museum tells the ’fantastic story’ of the writer the territory and de1 historical context with the lightness of the virtual dimension with the pleasure of the discovery of texts that come down from the shelves and images that recompose themselves; s1 will see Rodari interviewed on television and one will listen ’on the phone’ to some famous ’fables’ with the possibility to hear them recited in different languages.. on a journey inside a museum full of surprises.” “The choice,” they explain from Bianchetti Architettura “fell on a municipally owned building located in the historic core of the city a few steps from City Hall and the house where the writer was born in order to encourage a path that from the Museum leads the visitor to the discovery of Omegna has been entirely renovated to encourage the creation of unobstructed environments suitable for museum use.” “The Rodari Museum’s museum itinerary,” auroraMeccanica points out “has been designed to create an engaging immersive multimedia experience that is accessible to all; designed with a focus on the children’s audience but capable of dialoguing with a trained adult audience as well The interactive exhibits combine physical elements with digital video projections mechanical components and procedural software mingle and intertwine with each other to design an unprecedented narrative journey about the life and poetics of Gianni Rodari Visitors are asked to get involved in the first person to activate the stories and narrative mechanisms of the installations; without them In a museum itinerary that does not display objects but stories and experiences the real cultural content to be safeguarded and protected is precisely the visitors and their experience of visiting it becomes a living and accessible place in which to experiment with new models of teaching and dissemination of intangible heritage following in the fantastic footsteps of Gianni Rodari.” “The two-color pencil or ’teacher’s pencil,’” says Studio Grand Hotel “is the key element of the visual identity designed by Studio Grand Hotel for the Rodari Museum it is transformed for the occasion into the scepter ’of creative error.’ Red and blue become the primary colors of the identity chromatic palette opposing forces necessary to ignite the spark of creativity.” you’ll delve into a region rich in tradition and flavours that enhance the ingredients of the land You’ll savour white truffle from Alba to fresh egg agnolotti or tajarin a variety of alpine cheeses to freshwater fish washed down with a glass of Gavi or Barolo and experiences to enjoy and breathe in this little corner of paradise during the spring/summer season we've created an insider's guide to Lake Orta so that you can experience all this lesser-known gem has to offer Discover how best, and where, to discover the best of Italy off season thanks to our favourite local tastemakers For more recommendations on where to stay in Italy: Laqua by the Lake is part of Cinzia and Antonino Cannavacciuolo’s portfolio of Laqua Resorts and this particular location is an expression of captivating seclusion waking up to the stillness of Lake Orta and barely any road noise Eighteen suites and two penthouses with an earthly design each self-catered with a fully stocked kitchen Reserve an evening to taste Antonino Cannavacciuolo’s menu at the restaurant a celebration of both Piedmont and the chef’s homeland Campania La Darbia lies between the calmness of the lake and the quiet stretches of vineyards La Darbia was redesigned by the owners Gian Carlo and Matteo into characteristic rustic apartments with soft colours and all the necessary comforts of a country home Nestled among the stone-walled structure is the restaurant with an idyllic outdoor terrace overlooking the lake Chef Matteo Monfrinotti has curated a menu that enhances the gastronomic heritage of Piedmont with an innovative flair Don’t miss the opportunity to taste La Darbia’s own wine labels Located within an 18th-century Palazzo on the edge of the Lake Al Dom 57 is a four-roomed bed and breakfast with pleasantly designed rooms that retain tradition through coffered ceilings columns and floors of stone grit despite recent renovations From the internal courtyard to your private balcony there are plenty of places to enjoy a book under the fresh air and admire the lakeside views Water is said to invite a sense of ease and familiarity and this calmness is felt at Casa Fantini where Daniela Fantini created her concept around “Lake Time” a place already deeply rooted in her family business in the small village of Pella along the shores of Lake Orta Casa Fantini is an intimate boutique hotel that invites guests to rethink the concept of travel Immaculate architecture and design signed by Piero Lissoni offers a relaxed and convivial atmosphere and a restaurant in which Chef Diego Bertona gives value to simple local and sometimes endangered ingredients in all of their different forms through a four Perched high above Lake Orta is the Sacro Monte di Orta an old pilgrimage site and part of the nine Sacred Alpine Mountains The uphill path (worth the views at the top) consists of 20 chapels that illustrate the episodes in the life of the saint through sculptures (a total of 376) and frescoes by Morazzone all within an enchanting natural setting that reflects the peaceful Franciscan spirituality Address: Sacro Monte di Orta, Via al Sacro Monte, 28016 Orta San Giulio NO, ItalyWebsite: sacrimonti.org Orta San Giulio in winterGetty ImagesIsola di San Giulio Known as 'the island of silence' due to the still functioning monastery and the spirituality of the setting You can visit the 4th-century Romanesque Basilica as well as take the 'walk of silence' around the island taking note of the meditation and awareness aphorisms signposted along the way Address: Isola San Giulio, Lake OrtaWebsite: illagomaggiore.com Omegna is a charming village and the birthplace of Italian writer Gianni Rodari.

(ANS - Omegna) - Saturday, 25 June 2022, in Omegna saw the conclusion of the canonical recognition process of the mortal remains of Venerable Andrea Beltrami (1870-1897), which were placed, after conservation treatment, in the shrine dedicated to him in the Collegiate Church of St. Ambrose. It was an event intensely attended by the ecclesial and civic community. After the burial, the dedication of a room to the memory of Fr. Andrea Beltrami took place with the presence of the young animators at the Sacred Heart Oratory, as a reminder of his being a Salesian and a sign of his living memory and intercession for the new generations, for vocations and for those living in trial and illness.

(ANS – Rome) – On December 15th, 1966, Pope Paul VI promulgated the decree of venerability of Fr. Andrea Beltrami SDB. The anniversary was particularly remembered both in his hometown, Omegna, and in the Salesian house of Turin-Valsalice, where he spent great part of his Salesian life and where he died in 1897. Born in Omegna (VB) on the 24th of June 1870, Andrea was given in the family a profound Christian formation, which he later developed in the Salesian institute of Lanzo, where he enrolled in October 1883. Here his vocation grew. In 1886 he received the religious habit by Don Bosco. During the two years he spent in Turin-Valsalice he got acquainted and matured a spiritual friendship with the Polish prince Augusto Czartoryski, now blessed, who had recently joined the Salesian Congregation. Fr. Beltrami launches to the Salesian Family the hard message of redemptive suffering, or rather of a suffering that can become mysteriously joyful in proportion with the love with which it is accepted. “Believe me – he once wrote to his Director, Fr. Scappini – in all my pains, I am happy with a full and complete bliss, to the extent that I feel like smiling when people condole me and wish me full recovery!” Fr Beltrami's testimony confirms Don Bosco's statement: "There is only one Beltrami", as if to indicate the originality of the sanctity of this son of his in having embodied the secret core of Salesian apostolic holiness: the fruitfulness of pain lived and offered for love. three female cops are caught in a race against time to find the online mastermind behind the crime Here’s what’s leaving SBS On Demand in June 2022 Graham Norton’s ‘Holding’ is an Irish drama series that will hold you from the first moment ‘Stella Blómkvist’ is back – and Iceland will never be the same what if Jack the Ripper time travelled to today 5 min readPublished 10 December 2020 10:04am 'La Jauria' and 'Inspector Rojas: In Cold Blood' Available in other languagesShare this with family and friends analytics and third-party cookies.By continuing to browse The Slovak National Museum in Bratislava is hosting the exhibition ‘Aldo Rossi – Drawings and Designs‘ for the 14th edition of the Italian Dolce Vitaj festival in Slovakia We can’t help but remember how our father sometimes dreamily uttered the words ‘The Blue Danube’ and spoke of the mythological river which has its source in the Black Forest and passes through some of the most beautiful cities in Europe The exhibition presents the work of Italian architect and designer Aldo Rossi (1931-1997) the first Italian to win the prestigious Pritzker Prize in 1990 The halls of the Slovak National Museum are hosting the artist’s projects from the 1980s and 1990s: two very prolific decades that definitively marked his international consecration The exhibits also include two spectacular large coffee makers from the Alessi Museum in Omegna which are still in production and much appreciated by lovers of coffee and Italian design In these very poetic drawings that have arrived in Bratislava it is interesting to note the extent to which Rossi manages to combine beauty and practicality These characteristics that have not been confined to his home in Milan in other countries in Europe and of course all over Italy What emerges from his works is a joy in experiencing and sharing public spaces he has designed various everyday products and elegant furniture for world-renowned companies such as Alessi The exhibition, which is being curated by Chiara Spangaro, opens on 24 June and can be visited until 5 December 2021.
