A GREAT WINE WITH A GREAT HISTORY The Cortese grapes used toproduce the Gavi delComune di GaviDOCG Raggiocome only from LaLomellina estate inGavi, where wi-negrowing boastsa long tradition of excellence. The estate's mine-ral-rich terroir cou-pled with the fresh,brackish winds comingfrom the sea, give these Cor-tese grapes a unique, unmi-stakable flavor, withreminiscences of white flowers, lemons, green applesand honeydew. From pre-pruning throughtrimming and pruning, rightto grape harvesting, all ope-rations are carefully and ex-clusively made by hand. Only the best bunches, co-ming from the estate's mostsuitable terroirs, where vineswere planted more than 30 years ago,are selected. And only the healthiest and perfect gra-pes reach the cellar, where nobility andhistory meet superior winemaking ex-pertise and sound innovation. A state-of-the-art cellar, featuring stain-less steel, temperature controlled vats,takes care of maceration and fermenta-tion in order to enhance flavours andwine structure.

The result is a perfectly-balan-ced, distinctly fruity wine, with

a bone-dry character, afresh acidity and an in-

triguing hint of al-monds on the finish. A complex and uni-que bouquet, ca-refully preservedby a special, pur-pose-made glasstop.

A great aperitifwine, the Gavi del

Comune di GaviDOCG Raggio is a perfect

partner for all seafood with anatural aptitude for oystersand sushi.

A TRIBUTE TO AN ILLUSTRIOUS ANCESTOR Situated just in the middle ofthe homonymous estate, thevilla La Lomellina was builtaround 1620 by the powerfulGenoese family lomeilini,from whom it takes its name. During almost four centuries,

only three families haveowned the estate. The last being the one of Count EdilioRaggio, Marquis D' Azeglio, the greatgrandfather of the current co-owner. A very successful business man, CountRaggio gave a new impulse to wineproduction at La Lomellina, that startedaround 1817, and soon his Gavi winebegan to be known and appreciatedboth in Italy and abroad.

# 12 - Cortesi GalleryEdo Bertoglio, photos of NY icons Debbie Harry and Wendy Whitelaw

- Debbie, 1979, Inkjet print, matt paper on dibond, 100 x 100 cm.- Wendy, 1982, Inkjet print, matt paper on dibond, 100 x 100 cm.

A private photoshoot is included.

“The photos Debbie Harry and Wendy Whitelaw are part of a series of40 portraits called Figurines which were taken from 1977 to 1984 on theroof of my loft situated between Broadway and Bleecker Street in NewYork. Many of the most interesting female characters in this work animated the cultural and nocturnal life of 80s New York, and Blondie’sDebbie Harry and Wendy Whitelaw are a perfect example”.

Both works were on show in the exhibition: “Edo Bertoglio. Ring flash”, curated by Mariuccia Casadio, May - July 2014, Cortesi Gallery, Lugano.

“Figurines (1978-82) is an extraordinary collection of portraits featuringiconic figures from the New York punk/new-wave scene. By observingthe lineaments, expressions, and permutations of the female face, EdoBertoglio has borne witness to his era and told his own story. In his portraits of young urban idols of the late Seventies and early Eightiesfinds a fascination with identity that has evolved through the stages ofa life spent in Paris, London, and New York. It is a full immersion in themagic and mores of the different generations, cultures, and scenes thatthe Swiss-born photographer has documented in his pictures” (Mariuccia Casadio in “Edo Bertoglio. Ringflash”, catalogue of the exhibition, Cortesi Gallery, 2014).

Edo Bertoglio was born in 1951 in Lugano, Switzerland. After earning hisdegree in film direction and editing from the Conservatoire Libre du Cinéma Français in Paris, he moved first to London, and then in 1976 toNew York, where he remained for fourteen years. He worked as a staffphotographer for Andy Warhol’s Interview, documenting the artistic andmusical life of figures from the downtown scene of the Seventies and Eighties such as Jean-Michel Basquiat, Debbie Harry, and John Lurie,and his pictures appeared in the leading fashion, music, art and popculture magazines. He directed the films Downtown 81 and Face Addict.He moved back to Lugano in 1990, where he continues to work as aphotographer and documentary filmmaker.

# 14 - Gioni David Parra

Matterlight V, mixed media on canvas. 80x80cm, 2015 www.gionidavidparra.it

Gioni David Parra was born in the province of Pisa in 1962. He is apainter, sculptor and scenographer. After years of technical andthematic research and refinement, he has found and establishedhis own very personal pictorial language. This visual language is acomplex one, and sometimes many different techniques make upa single work. His approach is often formalist, and the play with reliefs suggests an overlapping between painting and sculpturethat constitutes the work.

Parra currently lives and works in Lido di Camaiore, Viareggio, inthe province of Lucca. He has worked with many prestigious galleries; several of his works are in Italian museums and foundations, and also in international collections. His work hasbeen shown in galleries across Italy, as well as in Berlin, Bangkok,Moscow, London, Lugano and New York.

# 19 - Christine Streuli

Impulse 65, 2013paintingmixed media on canvas40 x 30 cm

Christine Streuli is a successful Swiss artist living in Berlin. In 2007 she represented Switzerland at the Venice Biennial and in 2014 she took partin the Sydney Biennial. She had solo exhibitions at Helmhaus Zurich(2009), Kunstverein Oldenburg (2009), Museum Marta Herford in Germany (2010), Kunstmuseum Luzern (2013) and Haus am Waldsee,Berlin (2013). In the context of contemporary painting she holds a special position:she operates with a multifaceted sign language that draws on the mostvaried sources from art history to Pop culture. Using symmetry, reflectionand repetition, the artist develops patterns and ornamental structures.The multilayered composition of her paintings derives not only from thesuperimposition of these elements, but also from the deliberate combination of different painterly approaches. Streuli is not a classicalartist painting in the traditional way: she rarely paints with the brush. Sheoften uses transfer techniques, as stencils, sprays and decalcomania.Despite this transposition and the meditative distance created, her paintings are very direct and emotional, not least because of the signsand the daring coloration.

Monica De Cardenas founded her gallery in Milano in 1992. In 2007 sheopened a second gallery in an old Engadin house in Zuoz / St. Moritzand in 2014 a gallery space in Lugano. She represents internationalcontemporary artists such as Stephan Balkenhol, Alex Katz, Gianluca DiPasquale, Markus Raetz, Thomas Struth and others. The current exhibitionin Lugano is a solo show by Christine Streuli, lasting until May 30th.
