"Writing the future of an ancient story" meeting at Tenuta Berroni
Date of the event:
On 8 November 2026 Tenuta Berroni, in Racconigi, in the Province of Cuneo, hosts a scientific meeting as part of the 5th National Day "Coltiviamo la Cultura" ("Cultivating Culture") of the Associazione Dimore Storiche Italiane (ADSI, Association of Italian Historic Residences), dedicated to agriculture. The event is part of the national series "Scrivere il futuro di una storia antica" ("Writing the future of an ancient story"), organised in partnership with Confagricoltura and, for the first time, with Confagricoltura Donna [1].
The national day
The "Coltiviamo la Cultura" day, organised by ADSI ETS under the patronage of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food Sovereignty and Forestry, involves around sixty historic properties across Italy — villas, castles, farmhouses, cascine (Piedmontese farmsteads) and estates linked to the memory of agricultural work and rural traditions. In Piedmont, four residences take part: three in the Province of Alessandria and Tenuta Berroni, in the Cuneo area [1].
The meeting at Tenuta Berroni
Tenuta Berroni holds one of the three national scientific meetings in the "Scrivere il futuro di una storia antica" series, titled "Tradizione, scienza e impresa: le sfide dell'agricoltura del futuro tra innovazione, genetica e tutela del territorio" ("Tradition, science and enterprise: the challenges of the agriculture of the future between innovation, genetics and land stewardship"). The main speaker is researcher Alberto Acquadro, from the University of Turin's Department of Agricultural, Forestry and Food Sciences, who presents scientific innovations and research prospects in genetics as applied to agriculture, with attention to land stewardship [1].
The president of ADSI Piedmont said she considered it an honour to host the event at Tenuta Berroni, describing historic residences not only as custodians of an architectural and cultural heritage but also as places for experimenting with the agriculture of the future [1].
