Italian Wines and Science Fiction. Blade Runner, the Movie. Seen in La Morra, Alba

The movie Blade Runner was released 30 years ago this month. To celebrate here are the photos of a blackboard I saw in a wine bar close to the city of Alba, in Italy. 


Almost all the local economy of this region is based on growing grapes and making wine.

The writing in Italian is a parody of the famous sentence from the movie "I have seen things that you humans cannot even imagine....". It says: "In my life I have seen things that you, non-drinkers, cannot even imagine!!!".
 


And here are some more photos from the wonderful little town of La Morra, near Alba, Italy, where this blackboard was seen.

The Faletti Palace with the private Church. The Faletti family was the holder of the local feud of La Morra. The family has extinguished and the palace is now inhabited and belongs to the Cordero di Montezemolo family.

Milano Malpensa Airport. Designed by Ettore Sottsass. MXP

This airport is always crowded, noisy and dirty. The floors and ceilings seem to be made up of materials from the 1950s’ even though the Terminal 1 started operations in the 1990s’. Food served in the restaurant is terrible, of very expensive, or both. This is the only airport I have heard of where from time to time expensive items disappear from the checked bags of arriving passengers. On the positive side its architecture is a masterp iece of the “Postmodern” period. Its main designer was Ettore Sottsass. If you get out of the crowd, rest your eyes, and look at the lines of the building you smile at their beauty. Notice the two different rhythms of the columns on the upper and lower floors in the photo here.   Please see my collection of videos on my YouTube channel:  http://www.youtube.com/user/settime2588/videos This photograph was taken from a plane window and it is on the air side of terminal 1. The design is typical of the “Memphis Group”  producti

 The Khachapuri from Georgia. Tried it in Warsaw Video on the channel:  https://youtu.be/j_MhOuUDsL4 Khachapuri is a traditional Georgian dish of cheese-filled bread. The bread is leavened and allowed to rise, molded into various shapes, and then filled in the center with a mixture of cheese (fresh or aged, most commonly, specialized Khachapuri cheese), eggs, and other ingredients. The bread crust is traditionally torn off and dipped into the cheese. It is very popular in Georgia, both in restaurants and as street food. As a Georgian staple food, the price of making khachapuri is used as a measure of inflation in different Georgian cities by the "khachapuri index," developed by the International School of Economics at Tbilisi State University. It is Georgia's national dish, inscribed on the list of the intangible cultural heritage of Georgia. On the behalf and initiative of the Gastronomic Association of Georgia, the 27th of February was announced as National Khachapuri D
