The graphic collection of the Mazzucchelli Museums includes a collection of engravings, made up of nearly 700 works, particularly notable for its section dedicated to the theme of wine. Piero Giacomini started this collection in the eighties together with his vast collection of corkscrews and equipment for wine-making and wine-tasting, as a precious iconographical instrument to illustrate diverse aspects regarding the world of wine.
The engravings, which date back to as early as the sixteenth century, show the development of the Dionysian theme over the centuries, the fortune of the allegory of the vine in Christendom, they document wine-making methods and the opportunities for pleasure associated with it.
The collection is situated in the prestigious setting of the Wine Museum.
