Road to Torino 2011: North Italy trip starts in Cherasco
Turin (ITA) – 10 March 2011
The first step of the North Italy trip, that will present the World Archery Championships 2011 in more than 15 cities, will be held in Cherasco, province of Cuneo on 10 April 2011 during the 80th edition of the local annual Antiques Festival. The approach to the major international event is being accomplished through a promotion programme in the Piedmont and Lombardia regions in the provinces that joined initiative.
The promotion will take place in the square through demonstrations organised with the cooperation of the local archery clubs, also offering the possibility of a practical approach to the discipline for those who want to try. The event will be presented by videos, posters, flyers and the presence of athletes from the Italian national team.
The first step will be held on 10 April 2011 in Cherasco photo in the province of Cuneo on the occasion of the 80th edition of the local annual Antiques Festival.
A quadrilateral town situated on the river terrace formed by the confluence of the Stura di Demonte Tanaro, Cherasco has wide roads open by orthogonal arcades and is decorated with numerous civic and religious buildings ranging from Medieval to Baroque. An expression of the city history are the church of San Martino, built in Romanesque style between the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, and the church of San Pietro, the oldest and most important of the resort, which houses an interesting Romanesque facade. Typical from Cherasco are the "kisses" (Baci di Cherasco), a kind of chocolate candy born in 1881 and produced with toasted hazelnuts from the Langhe and dark chocolate, and the "Barolo" wine, famous all over the world.
Apart from provinces of Cuneo in April and Asti in May, other provinces will hold the promotion of the World Archery Championships in conjunction with the Sports National Day convened by the Council of Ministers scheduled for 5 June 2011.
