Borghi in Dialogo — 2nd Edition

The first edition of Borghi in Dialogo launched in November 2025 as a new cultural festival for the lower Maira Valley, as part of the PNRR 'Borghi ritrovati' project with San Damiano Macra as the lead municipality. From November 19 to 23, the three villages of San Damiano Macra, Cartignano, and Roccabruna hosted fifteen events, including book presentations, debates, conferences, and social gatherings, conceived as a mountain-based continuation of the 'Il Ponte del Dialogo' festival in Dronero.

The outcome was decidedly positive: over 700 people took part in the various initiatives, demonstrating the public's interest in a cultural proposal capable of enhancing the villages and communities of the valley. The success of the first edition laid the foundations for making Borghi in Dialogo a permanent fixture in the cultural calendar of the Maira Valley.
