The second
edition of the Chianti Star Festival that
will take place from 13 June – 20 July 2014 in the world-famous Chianti region
of Tuscany. Following the success of the first edition , the
2014 edition will be larger than last year as we have been offered the unique
opportunity to have two other incredible locations as well as the Palazzo Malaspina in San Donato in
Poggio: the beautiful Fattoria Montecchio very close to
San Donato, and the historic abbey at Badia
a Passignano. The prize-giving Ceremony will be held at the auditorium of the spectacular new Antinori wine cellar designed by Marco Casamonti at Bargino.
Once again
we will be collaborating with OpenLab, part
of the University of Florence, the Chianti
Observatory and the Municipality of Tavarnelle Val di Pesa.
The
relationship between art and science begins with the exhibition of contemporary
art (some of them will stimulate reflection and debate on art and science and
their relationship within the whole spectrum of society), while lectures,
demonstrations and concerts will enrich a calendar
of collateral events.
