to the Val d’Isere and the Durance. Inevitably
the kingdom of Susa eventually gravitated
into the Roman sphere. Today the city lays
claim to a series of great and highly prestigious
monuments, amongst which, the Arch
of Augusto which was erected between 9-
8BC to celebrate a pact made between the
local King Cozie and the Roman Emperor. Testimony
to the successive medieval period is
the castle of the Countess Adelaide. This female
presence was very important for Susa
because Adelaide married Oddone of Savoy,
(1000BC), and this gave rise to the Sabauda

dynasty making Susa an outpost of Savoy.
The importance of Adelaide in Europe was
sealed due to the marriage of her daughter to
Enrico 1V (Henry 1V) Holy Roman Emperor.
It is to Adelaide’s father that we owe the legacy
of the cathedral San Giusto and its spectacular
bell tower. From the windows of the
castle we can see over all of Susa.
In the heights which surround Susa it is possible
to decipher the evocative ruins of the
imposing fortress of Brunetta which recalls
the passage of Napoleone Bonaparte. It was
Napoleone himself who ordered the dismantling
of the fortress considered at the time to
be the most important in Europe. At the foot
of the heights known as Brunetta, are important
remnants of the period of the Risorgimento,
amongst them the railway station
inaugurated in 1854. It was the station that
increased the strategic role of the city which
justifiably is considered a stopping place not
to be missed for lovers of Italian and European
history and art.
SESTRIERE - L’edizione 2009 dello Scalpello
d’Oro “Simposio di Scultura su legno e Pittura”,
dal 5 all’8 agosto, sarà ricordata come
quella della svolta. Infatti per la prima volta,
oltre agli scultori, hanno fatto il loro debutto
i pittori. La scelta si è rivelata azzeccata ripagando
le aspettative del maestro Carlo Piffer,
a capo della commissione del concorso che
ha avuto la preziosa collaborazione del Comune
di Sestriere, dei commercianti ed albergatori
e di diversi sponsor tecnici e locali.
“Trofei sportivi per manifestazioni nazionali
ed internazionali a Sestriere” è stato il tema
sul quale gli artisti sono stati chiamati a trasmettere
nelle proprie opere e che ha avuto
come filo conduttore le diverse discipline
sportive praticate al Colle ed i luoghi e simboli
che identificano Sestriere.
Quattro giorni di lavoro in piazza Fraiteve con
gli artisti che hanno dato sfoggio di tecnica
e creatività al cospetto del pubblico che ancora
una volta ha dimostrato di apprezzare
questo contatto diretto con l’arte. Hanno partecipato
a quest’edizione i seguenti scultori:
Fabio Nicola (Serravalle Sesia); Dino Damiani
(Grignasco); Adriano Gasparini (Piovene Rocchette);
Gianpaolo Corna (Grone); Gjobè
Sperotto (Sarcedo); Elia Marsetta (Merate);
Antonio Piffer (Mosana di Giovo). Nutrita
anche la pattuglia dei pittori, tutti torinesi,
composta da: Dino Carpinello; Lorenzo Bricarello;
Maria Teresa Morsietto; Elio Lusso;
Valeria Landrino.
Le opere sono esposte all’ufficio di accoglienza
turistica, in attesa di essere cedute
come premio per futuri eventi. (e.r.)

emotion onto wood and canvas for a
symposium of sculpture and pictures at
altitude of 6.676 feet.
SESTRIERE – The 2009 edition of the Golden
Chisel “A symposium of wood sculpture and
paintings” from 5th to 8th of August 2009 ,
will be regarded as one of the most memorable.
In fact for the first time, others besides
sculptors, made their debut in pictures.
The event has exposed ample means of satisfying
the expectations of the maestro Carlo
Piffer, to the head of the commission of contests
who has benefited from the valuable
collaboration of the Commune of Sestriere,
traders, hoteliers and various technical and
local sponsors. “Sportive trophys for national
and international exhibitions in Sestriere” is
the theme to which the artists were called
upon to portray their own work and represent
the various sportive disciplines practiced
at the Colle and the areas and the symbols
which identify Sestriere.
Four days of work in the Fraiteve Square with
the artists has unravelled technique and creativity
in the presence of the public who have
once again demonstrated their appreciation
of this direct contact with art.
Amongst those who participated in this edition
are the sculptors Fabio Nicola (Serravalle
Sesia); Dino Damiani (Grignasco); Adriano
Gasparini (Piovene Rocchette); Gianpaolo Corina
(Grone); Gjobè Sperotto (Sarcedo); Elia

Giovo). Aiding also in the picture patrol, all
from Turin were Dino Carpinello; Lorenzo
