Contemporary Arts Castello di Perno – Contemporary Arts is a concept with multiple meanings. First of all, it is evocative of a place that has, in the Langa area, evidence and recognition.

The village of Perno is a fifth set between the ridges of Serralunga and Castiglione Falletto, visible at a wide range from Novello, La Morra, Verduno, Roddi and even Sinio. It overlooks the most beautiful vineyards located in the south between east and west, from the Vigna Rionda vineyard until to the Cannubi hill.

However, Perno does not respond only visually to the literal meaning of its medieval toponymy, it carries with it a relevant, more recent history unknown to most.

​

The Castello di Perno was in fact the headquarter, twin of that of Via Biancamano in Turin, of the Giulio Einaudi Publishing House, in particular the residence for the study and artistic activity of Einaudian writers (among the most assiduous Primo Levi visitors) and theater of seminars and meetings between the greatest personalities of the Italian culture of the Republican age.

In other words, Perno, and not just the castle, was a home for culture and wants to go back to being so, for this reason it opens up to contemporary arts and therefore will concretely open to welcoming artists who will return to exhibit their works, to writers and musicians, to experts and to researchers who will return to discuss literature and music, history and philosophy, law and economics.
