"Medea 50 Pier Paolo Pasolini, Maria Callas e Grado" exhibition
15 June 2019
50 years after the making of the film Medea, by Pier Paolo Pasolini, Grado remembers the passage in the lagoon of the great Friulian director, Maria Callas and the whole crew that contributed to the production of the film, between July and August 1969. Many days of work to fix 14 minutes of filming on the celluloid that gave the Island of the Sun and its natural environment to international attention and the history of cinema.
To remember the great director, the City of Grado has planned to set up a photographic exhibition in the foyer of the former Crystal Cinema, the historic headquarters of the city, where the film was presented and where, later, Pasolini himself gave rise to numerous important film events. The exhibition, which will open on Saturday, June 15, aims to illustrate the meeting between artistic creation and the lagoon territory and to return the unique film situation linked to a director and an exceptional cast, ranging from Maria Callas to Giuseppe Gentile, from Laurent Terzieff to Massimo Girotti: all circumstances that helped to build the combination Medea-Grado. Among the materials on display will have a fundamental part of the images of Mario Tursi, photographer of the scene, which will be reproduced on large panels. Posters, posters and photos will be presented, as well as original envelopes of "Medea" and period materials linked to the diffusion of the film in the cinemas and on printed paper; all linked by panels with texts useful for the overall reading of the events narrated in the exhibition. The exhibition will then be accompanied by poetic and literary texts in which Pasolini described the lagoon and the processing of the film, from the letters of Maria Callas to Pasolini himself, from the stories of the Friulian artist, Giuseppe Zigaina, a great friend of Pasolini, dedicated to the film.

SULL' ONDA DELLE STORIE E DEL FARE doppio appuntamento
8 July 2019
LUDOTECA GIT - GIARDINO del GAZEBO INGRESSO PRINCIPALE
Continuano le storie e i laboratori di Sull’onda delle storie e del fare, lo spazio dedicato a bambini e famiglie a cura di Damatrà. I martedì dalle 17.00 alle 18.00 sono dedicati alla narrazione, mentre i mercoledì dalle 16.00 alle 18.30 vedranno i bambini impegnati nei laboratori creativi.
Sull’onda delle storie:“Pic-nic di storie… dolci!”
Tanti cestini da pic-nic per fare una scorpacciata di storie. Il cestino si apre ed esce una storia da gustare accoccolati su una comoda coperta.
Ogni martedì il menù è diverso, questa volta tocca alle storie dolci dolci …
Sull’onda del fare: “Pesci, meduse e altri animali marini”
Arriva in spiaggia un banco di pesci…Inventali tu che ci riesci!
Pesci che si incrociano con oggetti e altri animali ad esempio c’è… il pesce martello, il pesce spada, il pesce palla, il pesce luna ma anche il pesce cane, lo squalo volpe e lo squalo elefante per finire con meduse quadrifoglio e stelle marine…
Un banco di animali marini immaginati fatti tutti di stoffa da cucire a macchina e con l’ago aggiungendo poi gli occhi-bottoni e le pinne-passamanerie; si costruiranno anche i pesci con i pennelli e i colori dell’acqua; non potranno mancare gli animali marini da far nascere dalla carta per farli entrare dentro a un libro del mare.
Come si fa? … venite a scoprirlo!

Libri e autori a GRADO: Andrea Segrè presenta IL METODO a SPRECO ZERO
8 July 2019
“Il metodo spreco zero”: diventa un libro l’esperienza accademica di Andrea Segrè, professore universitario eclettico, ideatore e promotore di tante iniziative visionarie Last Minute Market, la campagna europea Spreco In sette giorni impari a non buttare più cibo, aiuti l'ambiente e risparmi centinaia di euro!
«Il tono di questo manuale di ecologia domestica resta comunque leggero: un corso articolato in sette giorni, dal lunedì alla domenica, per imparare a usare tutto quello che compriamo ottenendo anche un netto vantaggio per il portafoglio» - Antonio Cianciullo, Il Venerdì
«Uno sguardo nuovo sulle cose che mangiamo e quello che ci sta dentro: relazioni, valori sociali, energia, acqua, soldi, fame e diete, troppo e troppo poco» - dalla postfazione di Massimo Cirri, conduttore di Caterpillar, Rai Radio 2
Dalla prima indagine scientifica sullo spreco domestico, un metodo semplice ma rivoluzionario: per mangiare meglio, salvaguardare l'ambiente e risparmiare
A tutti noi dispiace sprecare il cibo. Ogni giorno però ne buttiamo 100 grammi a testa, che diventano 37 chili pro capite e 85 a famiglia ogni anno: un valore per ogni nucleo familiare pari a 450 euro, ma anche un costo per smaltire i rifiuti e un peso sull'ambiente sempre meno giustificabile. È possibile evitare questo inutile sperpero e risparmiare? Sì, e gli accorgimenti per farlo sono alla portata di tutti: basta leggere questo libro. Pieno di informazioni e consigli, il testo – frutto di anni di ricerca dell'autore, massimo esperto italiano sull'argomento – parte dalla compilazione di un "diario dello spreco", in cui registrare gli alimenti buttati ogni giorno per ogni pasto, per capire i nostri errori, liberarci dalle cattive abitudini e iniziare la nostra "rivoluzione alimentare". In pochi passaggi impareremo a fare la spesa in modo intelligente e mirato, senza rincorrere facili e ingannevoli promesse del marketing; a conoscere a fondo il nostro frigorifero, organizzandolo al meglio per la conservazione dei cibi; a leggere le scadenze riportate sulle confezioni e a usare gli imballaggi in modo utile; a fare l'orto in casa; a evitare del tutto gli avanzi, dando agli ingredienti considerati "scarti" una nuova vita attraverso ricette magiche. Perché non sprecare cibo può cambiarci la vita e salvare davvero il nostro pianeta.
