In cooperation with Dr. Paola Farinetti, chairman of the Culture Committee in the

town of Alba.

It will be a temporary archaeological exhibition, showed for the first time in Alba and enhanced by

a strong photo set, that takes, as a main focus, the ancient Egyptian culture, the vine cultivation,

the wine production and the refined use in the society as well as in the afterlife: an unusual and

fascinating subject.

The D.O.C.G. of the Pharaos do create a very interesting journey to discover one of the most

intriguing civilization of the history with its wine and food customs.

The archaeological findings will be borrowed from important Italian museums. Further highlights

schools, web site, guides speaking French, English, German and Italian, of course.

will be submitted for the High Patronage of the President of the Republic.
