Servane Giol\u2019s book La regina delle Dolomiti.<\/em> Vivere a Cortina d\u2019Ampezzo<\/em> [The Queen of the Dolomites.<\/em> Living in Cortina d’Ampezzo<\/em>] describes daily life in Ampezzo, guiding the reader to through an exploration of homes and local events in the summer and winter seasons. The story is completed by the photographs of Mattia Aquila. We interviewed the author.
\r\n
\r\nWhat are the intentions of the volume and what should the reader who is about to thumb through its pages expect?<\/strong>
\r\n
\r\nThe intentions of the volume are to reveal the interiors of a Cortina d’Ampezzo too often compared to films, first and foremost Vacanze di Natale<\/em>, which suggest a certain idea of \u200b\u200bholiday life in a hotel, while, beginning in the 1950s, many people who love the ski resort have chosen the home option rather than the hotel one. I knew I would find interiors rich in variety, given the diverse origins of the people who own a home in the valley. In addition, I was looking for historical traces, a sort of common thread that could define the Cortina style beyond its most famous architects, Vietti and Gellner.
\r\nI found this common thread in the history of Cortina, in its Tyrolean past and in its Venetian present. Decorative traces of both of these styles can be found in every home.
\r\n

THE BOOK ABOUT CORTINA BY SERVANE GIOL<\/h2>
\r\nThe story, told in words and images, follows the rhythm of the seasons, divided between winter and summer.<\/strong> How would you describe, in brief, the way Cortina feels in summer and winter?<\/strong>
\r\nOne big surprise for me was discovering that, in films about Cortina, winter is always the setting for comedy, with major romantic intrigues, and summer, on the other hand, is the backdrop for dramatic expeditions to the mountains, romantic dramas, etc.
\r\nFor me though, summer is the happiest season in Cortina: the houses decorated with flowers, the traditional Ampezzo or Tyrolean costumes, the raspberry cakes, the whole city takes on a very happy and authentic feel. Winter has a more homely atmosphere, made of warm fabrics and furs. For sports enthusiasts, it is pure adrenaline, with the spectacular snow-capped mountains of Cortina as the protagonists.
\r\n
\r\nThe photographs, by Mattia Aquila, that enrich the volume focus particularly on Cortina\u2019s residential architecture, allowing the gaze to discover spectacular homes.<\/strong> What does it mean to live your daily life in Cortina? <\/strong>
\r\nDaily life in Cortina is certainly tied to the weather and the seasons, less so for food than in the past, but much more so for tourism reasons. For example, the absence of snow can completely change a winter season. Conversely, intense heat can cause many people to come to Cortina in the summer seeking the cool of the mountains. Therefore, daily life involves knowing how to deal with times when there\u2019s no one, or when it\u2019s super crowded, and adapting. All to avoid traffic and queues.
\r\nLife at home in the winter, while perhaps no longer entirely in the Stube, is certainly centred around the fireplace and other sources of heat such as stoves.
\r\n

THE IMPORTANCE OF CORTINA<\/h2>
\r\nMany intellectuals have fallen under Cortina\u2019s spell, finding in the Venetian town the ideal place to stay.<\/strong> Can you tell us some anecdotes about it?<\/strong>
\r\nPerhaps the most famous intellectual, or at least the one who left his mark on the dreams of a dolce vita that is still relevant, was Ernest Hemingway. He stayed in Cortina several times, in summer and winter, first in a hotel, then at Villa Aprile. There are many stories about the parties at Hotel Posta, where among other things he met his translator, Fernanda Pivano, who remained his faithful friend throughout his life.
\r\n
\r\nCortina’s fame is inextricably linked to the 1956 Olympic Games. What is your wish for the “Queen of the Dolomites” in view of the 2026 Winter Olympics?<\/strong>
\r\nI believe that they will absolutely not have the same scope as the first Olympics in 1956, there will be many fewer competitions taking place in the valley. The competitions will be spread between Venice and Milan, which did not happen in 1956. I hope that these games will help find a solution to the major issues of traffic and parking, which are increasingly congested. A problem that can no longer be put off.
