in Pinmapplelast year

ENG/ITA

Hello Hive friends, ready for a new post?
Last week I told you about my visit to Piedmont through the voucher Piemonte, today I want to end this trip by telling you what I visited the remaining two days.
As I told you, we left for Piedmont the first days of January with my brother @ilpaso and stayed at the Cascina dei Prapien locality Mosso (Biella). If you missed the first part of this post, I’ll leave you the link here to read it.

Buongiorno amici di Hive, pronti per un nuovo post?
La settimana scorsa vi ho parlato della mia visita in Piemonte tramite il voucher Piemonte, oggi voglio concludere questo viaggio raccontandovi cosa ho visitato i restanti due giorni.
Come vi ho già detto, siamo partiti per il Piemonte i primi giorni di Gennaio insieme a mio fratello @ilpaso e abbiamo soggiornato presso la Cascina dei Prapien località Mosso (Biella). Se ti fossi perso la prima parte di questo post, ti lascio qui il link per poterlo leggere.

After visiting Ivrea, Alagna with its ski slopes, the remaining days we headed to one of the most magical places in that area. The lake of Orta. It is defined as the most romantic lake in Italy, 2.5 km wide and about 13 km long, it is a marvel nestled between the Alps and wooded vegetation. I know of lakes living a step from Lake Iseo and two steps from Lake Garda, I must say that I was pleasantly surprised by this lake, much smaller in size but still very nice. Being then close enough to Lake Maggiore can be absolutely a stop to do if you are in those areas.

Dopo aver visitato Ivrea, Alagna con le sue piste da sci, i restanti giorni ci siamo diretti in uno dei posti più magici di quella zona. Il lago d’Orta. Viene definito il lago più romantico d’Italia, largo 2,5 km e circa 13 di lunghezza, è una meraviglia incastonata tra le alpi e la vegetazione boschiva. Io che di laghi me ne intendo vivendo a un passo dal Lago d’Iseo e due passi dal lago di Garda, devo dire che sono rimasta piacevolmente stupita da questo lago, molto più piccolo di dimensioni ma comunque molto carino. Essendo poi abbastanza vicino al lago Maggiore può essere assolutamente una tappa da fare se ci si trova in quelle zone.

We then visited the village Orta San Giulio, like many villages I have already told you about, is part of the most beautiful villages in Italy and this village is really worth a visit. Its streets are characteristic, and all descend towards the lake, its shops are full of special items and souvenirs. It’s always crowded with tourists especially on weekends and holidays.
Unfortunately we were not able to visit the island that is in front of the main square for lack of time.
There are a number of very beautiful architectural buildings to see, some churches such as that of Santa Maria Assunta which is located climbing towards the Mount and The church that is located in the main square of the S.S. Trinity. However small the village is exceptional to see how many churches it has, almost twenty!

Noi abbiamo poi visitato il borgo Orta San Giulio, come tanti borghi di cui vi ho già parlato, fa parte dei borghi più belli d’Italia e questo paesino merita veramente la visita. Le sue vie sono caratteristiche, e tutte scendono verso il lago, i suoi negozi sono ricchi di oggetti particolari e souvenir. E’ sempre molto affolato da turisti soprattutto il weekend e nei giorni di festa.
Purtroppo non ci è stato possibile visitare l’isola che si trova di fronte alla piazza principale per mancanza di tempo.
Ci sono una serie di edifici architettonici molto belli da vedere, alcune chiese come quella di Santa Maria Assunta che si trova salendo verso il Monte e La chiesa che si trova nella piazza principale quella della S.S. Trinità. Per quanto sia piccolo il borgo è eccezionale vedere di quante chiese disponga, quasi una ventina!

After finishing this visit, the following day, we planned to visit a distillery under our own management. We headed to Portula, a village very close to where we stayed, to visit the distillery Marchisio. We were fascinated by this place and by the owner Mr. Marchisio who is the only one working inside the distillery. He does everything himself, he showed us the copper still he built himself to distil his delicious grappa. He told us how he does this work for passion and not for profit and how he spends his days sometimes even days inside the distillery to prepare all the grappa and control the production.
I leave you the link where you can find his products and read more information about the production of his grappa. https://www.alpibiellesi.eu/distilleria-marchisio/

Dopo aver terminato questa visita, il giorno seguente, avevamo in programma la visita di una distilleria a conduzione propria. Ci siamo diretti a Portula, paesino vicinissimo a dove abbiamo soggiornato, per visitare la distilleria Marchisio. Siamo rimasti affascinati da questo posto e dal proprietario il Sig. Marchisio che è l’unico a lavorare all’interno della distilleria. Lui fa tutto da solo, ci ha mostrato l’alambicco in rame che ha costruito da solo per distillare la sua buonissima grappa. Ci ha raccontato come svolge questo lavoro per passione e non per guadagno e come passa le sue giornate a volte anche giorni interi all’interno della distilleria per preparare tutte le grappe e controllare la produzione.
Vi lascio il link dove potete trovare i suoi prodotti e leggere più informazioni sulla produzione delle sue grappe. https://www.alpibiellesi.eu/distilleria-marchisio/
