Il Vino: Undici conferenze fatte nell'inverno dell'anno 1880 by Various
"Il Vino: Undici conferenze fatte nell'inverno dell'anno 1880" by Various is a collection of lectures written in the late 19th century. The work features contributions from a variety of authors, including scientists and literary figures, who each provide insights on different aspects of wine, intertwining its cultural, historical, and scientific dimensions. The overarching theme revolves around the significance of wine in human society, touching on its mythological origins, cultural practices, and thetechnicalities of its production. The opening of this collection begins with a foreword from the editor outlining the uniqueness of this collaborative effort among eleven experts in various fields. It emphasizes that this volume is not a straightforward treatise on wine but rather a pleasant and instructive read that delves into the myths surrounding wine's origins, its role in human customs, and historical anecdotes. The first lecture by Arturo Graf explores the legendary aspects of wine, discussing its divine associations and the complex interweaving of myths from different cultures that highlight wine's impact on spirituality and social life. This initial discussion sets the stage for a rich exploration of wine in later lectures, spanning scientific, social, and health-related topics. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
