The new appointment of #UMANOITECOM animates Vino Vero Lisboa: the guest-innkeeper of the event will be the Italian Lidia Carbonetti from the wine estate Rocco di Carpeneto.
Located in the hilly Alto Monferrato in the Piedmont region, the estate was born from Lidia and Paolo’s passion and determination: bored by her job in Milan, Lidia decided to radically change her life. Therefore, wine has become her second life: she got back to study enology and viticulture at university and, by the time that the first vintage of their estate was ready, she had completed her degree.
At Rocco di Carpeneto, only native vines are cultivated, following the principles of biodynamics, respecting the environment and its natural cycles. The estate’s name itself is rooted in local history: “Rocch” was the ancient name of the Carpeneto d’Acqui region since 1458 and before. Even the wines’ names bear the traces of local culture: they are all named after dialectal words, as the RAPP, “bunch” in dialect, a 24/30-month aged barbera, spontaneously fermented in stainless steel vats, the RATARAURA, literally “bat”, a Barbera del Monferrato superiore DOCG, mostly processed inside clay pots, or the ANDEIRA, which refers “rhythm” or a “brisk walk”.
These and more wines will be available for tasting during the next appointment of #UMANOITECOM.

Can two people sitting at a table cause noise to such an extent that it is not considered tolerable and this lead to the closure of only one wine bar?
The Court of Venice has said no! In fact, it assessed that given the specificity of the context and the conditions leading to noise emissions, it is not possible to determine the source of the noise.
The court’s decision also took into account the recent regulatory changes adopted by the Venice City Council, which set precise limitations on the hours of operation of establishments in the area of Fondamenta della Misericordia.
The court, in light of all this, considered Vino Vero’s earlier closing time to be unjustified and therefore upheld the complaint and reformed the order in question.
Vino Vero thus returns to its usual hours: closing at midnight every day except Friday and Saturday, when it closes at one o’clock.
We are happy that we can continue to do our work, with the professionalism that has always characterised us. We love Venice and we do not want this city to become a museum with fixed and predetermined opening and closing times.
Precisely because we love and live in Venice, we know how important residents’ need for tranquillity and rest is, and – with profound respect for this – we felt that this was a good opportunity to ask ourselves about the future we want – as citizens – for Venice and the historic centres of many Italian cities, with the aim of activating a positive, participatory public dialogue.
Vino Vero is not just a wine bar, we cultivate culture and we want to continue to do so. Thank you all for supporting us so far: we have won, but we want to continue to fight so that Venice remains a city which is alive beyond mere tourism. That is why it is important to continue collecting signatures, to show that there are many of us who want Venice to stay alive.
