THE HISTORY OF RADEGONDA
Radegonda Oberto daughter of Pietro and Giulia Oberto, was born in La Morra on 2nd January 1904, and spent her childhood in the town house where the hotel stands today that is called Gondina in her memory.
She dedicated her life to the school (from 1927 to 1967) and after 40 years of her career was awarded a gold medal for teaching.
She had seven sisters and one brother, was never married, but animated the residence, surrounded by friends, relatives, her many nephews and nieces until 1996 when she passed away at the venerable age of 92.
What they said about her
"in that extraordinary book that is the Atlas of the Langhe areaís vineyards, the great cru of Barolo and Barbaresco (published by Slow Food), the testimonial by Radegonda Oberto, mistress of La Morra, moved me. It was like hearing the words of my maternal grandmother..."
Aldo Grasso
"my father and I have spent most of our lives within these walls, so the successful restoration of the residence was extremely satisfying. This is the "house" for antonomasia, the place we feel most tied to and being able to accommodate other people in it is a source of great pleasure."
Elena Oberto
