The Dolomiti Ethnographic Museum, in collaboration with the Belluno Libraries, participates in the Reading Marathon "Veneto Reads" with an important "warming up" event titled The Incredible Story of Snow.
Through images, sounds, and memories related to snow, participants will explore what stirs within them: solitude, waiting, wonder, transitions. Snow as a metaphor, landscape, or protagonist will guide their words in a creative writing workshop titled Like Snow curated by Il Portolano.
Subsequently, starting from the book The Incredible Story of Snow and Its Appearance: From Mesopotamian Civilizations to the Refrigerator, from Cocktails to Climate Emergency, there will be a conversation with the author Alberto Grandi and geographer Sara Luchetta. The volume, published by Aboca in 2022 in the human ecology series, is a very enjoyable essay that narrates, in a historical and anthropological key, the relationship of ancient and modern peoples with snow and ice, particularly viewed through the lens of food, food preservation, and medical therapies.
Finally, after the cold of the snow has led them through stories and knowledge, they will taste, in some way, the flavors with the Zoldani Ice Cream Makers and their traditional ice cream.
