Antinori What is art for?
"We were lucky enough to live in a city like Florence, the heart of Tuscany, where he breathes a balance and a sense of aesthetics that mark you forever. Art is in the works, culture, urbanism and nature, even in the hills shaped by man. All of this expresses a harmony in the world c'invidiano and which is also reflected in our wines. "

"A pride and a burden to bear willingly. The idea is that each generation brings its contribution and I'll try to do the same by sending these principles in future, one already in operation and another in preparation, each according to its historical period, the personal ambition and talent. "
The Antinori family is associated with the concept of Tuscany, outside the Palace still exists and, especially, can be considered a value?
"Today more than yesterday. The charm Tuscany in the world who does not have it any other region. Just think, over Florence, Siena, Cortona, Montepulciano, San Gimignano, to name a few. The treasures of art, history, culture and landscape that case are unique and are an expression of beauty, a unique balance and harmony. Each of us is enriched and brought along this positive background of sensitivity and openness to all that is beautiful, not everyone is lucky enough to metabolize since childhood such a perception. That is, Tuscany is a great and irreplaceable asset. "
Tuscany, such as the country moves back in front of the international crisis of losing parts industry ma continuando a resistere sul territorio, è questo il nostro futuro?
«Salvo alcune eccezioni credo che la Toscana non sia una regione per industrie pesanti. Viviamo un momento di trasformazione da cui nascerà un’altra Toscana, ma non possiamo pensare di vivere solo di turismo e prodotti agricoli d’eccellenza. Questa regione ha le caratteristiche per diventare luogo di ricerca e innovazione, soprattutto in settori d’avanguardia come, per esempio, il medicale e il bioteconologico».
Il premio Cortonantiquaria 2010 è un premio alla carriera, che ha seguito da una parte le direttrici del coraggio e dell’innovazione, dall’altra della tradizione e del rispetto del patrimonio storico. Beyond the state of the art, what is your next project?
"The award is given symbolically to a person, but behind this there is a family person and there are employees, so it's still most coveted and appreciated. Although there is a specific project, an incentive to relocate in the next 26 generations what they did before the twenty-six. "
