Cesare Pavese Experience

CESARE PAVESE EXPERIENCE

a walk around Cesare Pavese's places, through the writer's texts, with wine and food tasting in the landscape.

How is the natural beauty of the landscape interpreted through storytelling?

A literary immersion, in collaboration with the Cesare Pavese Foundation, in the places narrated by the famous author from Turin, born and returned to Santo Stefano Belbo: the Cesare Pavese Experience is waiting for you to dive into the landscapes where the writer gave life to his works.

The tour will take place in stages in minivans and for small groups, touching the symbolic places narrated and experienced by the author. This is not a descriptive or didactic tour, but an emotional and anthological itinerary through Pavese’s texts in the places that inspired them, without intermediation or interpretation.

At the end of the experience, you will enjoy a special aperitif of Moscato dei Sorì on the Moncucco hill.

For children aged 7 to 12, the cost is € 20.
