Environment Days – Memory and Crafts of the Village

The Environment Days in Loro Piceno

In the small Municipality of Loro Piceno, in the province of Macerata, the Environment Days take visitors on a walking tour through the village streets, rediscovering the memory and crafts that have shaped its history. The event, titled "Memory and Crafts of the Village", is the Loro Piceno stop of a widespread review involving three towns in the Fiastra Valley: Ripe San Ginesio, Colmurano, and Loro Piceno.

A Journey Through History and Tradition

The route intertwines cultural heritage and local identity. It starts from the Space for Future Traditions, the new cultural hub located in the former Museum of Cooked Wine, within the evocative Cloister of San Francesco. From here, the guided tour crosses the historic center to reach the symbolic places of the town.

• The Museum of the World Wars, set up in the halls of Brunforte Castle, which houses relics and testimonies from the 20th century.
• The ancient kitchens of Brunforte Castle, where the daily gestures and domestic knowledge of the past come alive.
• The Space for Future Traditions, dedicated to the encounter between practices, knowledge, and new perspectives related to artisanal craftsmanship.

The "Qui Val di Fiastra" Project

The review is part of the "Qui Val di Fiastra" project, winner of the PNRR Borghi Call, which with an investment of over four million euros aims to regenerate the historic centers and communities of the valley. The coordination is entrusted to Inabita Laboratorio Territoriale, while the organization of the days is by Meridiana snc, in collaboration with the Museum Network of the Fiastra Valley and the Municipalities of Loro Piceno, Colmurano, and Ripe San Ginesio.
