ASSULI SELECTION

«THE ORLANDO FURIOSO. THE HEROIC AND THE WONDERFUL IN SICILY.
 ASSULI PAYS HOMAGE TO A MASTERPIECE OF ARTISTIC PERFECTION.»

Ruggiero flies, kidnapped by the Hippogriff of Atlante, who came to Sicily and dominated Messina after travelling by sea for a long time.
Orlando doesn't leave from Sicily, rather he sends somebody else 'to find porphyry and alabaster'. And he honors with a grand prize the best
craftsmen of that art. It's a recollection of magic architectures, battles, love, irony.

These and many others are the countless connections that the Orlando Furioso hides with Sicily in an extensive game of chess that is played on
the map of the island. Evidence of this it may be seen in artistic elements, clear signs of a process of assimilation of the knightly world. The
major altar of the church of San Giorgio in Ragusa (1574), where all the saints are represented as paladins, the portal-balcony of the Navanteri
palace in Syracuse with an hippogriff as shelf, for example.

ASSULI pays homage to Ludovico Ariosto, which express the spirit of the Renaissance in its highest and most perfect poetic fulfillment. By
sealing in the love felt for life and nature, in the Orlando Furioso he expresses himself as a pure and universal artistic manifestation. In the same
way, born out of passion, are ASSULI wines.

Le donne, i cavallier, l’arme, gli amori,       These rhymes inspire the Assuli Wooden Gift Boxes, special
le cortesie, l’audaci imprese io canto,         collections that aim to tickle the curiosity of the most daring

THE ORLANDO FURIOSO                             narrative: the love of Orlando and Angelica (to which the 'donne'
FIRST POEM                                      and 'amori' of the first verse allude), the war between Carlo

                                                encomiastic motif for the Este family of Ferrara, developed
                                                through the figure of Ruggiero.

Respect for tradition. Attention to detail. Love of the earth.
