“The Mussotto district is in excitement for the not-to-be-missed appointment on Sunday 4th March. It will be the day that the «first stone» of the new church will be blessed, or rather, the memorial of the beginning of construcion.(…) The day will start at 10.30 in the current church, dedicated to the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, with a Mass presided by Bishop Sebastiano Dho, during which the first stone will be blessed. At 11.30, the community will offer refreshments wishes”. (extract from the journal “gazzetta d’Alba”, 27/02/2007, 9.)


The earth song finally surfacing

In the forthcoming days, the Cascina Adelaide of Amabile Drocco, will definitely stand in “surface” with the final conclusion of the architectural design, building site and, finally, we will drink a toast to his inauguration. The project carried out in detail by ARCHICURA is primarily an invitation to the future supported by a strong-suggestion-architecture, forged in the earth as a work of art, and gently leaned in close contact with the hills covered with vineyards. The project is articulated and complex, however, reveals that the object-cellar is not only architecture, but it is a dialogue with tradition, with landscape, with art, with future but especially with the hard and hidden work which transforms the grapes into sublime wine.
