Festival Carta della Terra

A widespread festival for the environment

The Festival Carta della Terra is one of the most established cultural events in the province of Brescia dedicated to sustainability. Promoted by the Fondazione Cogeme and the Associazione Terra della Franciacorta, the festival spans over a month of programming, offering dozens of initiatives on the environment, ecological education, and civic participation.

The formula is that of a travelling festival: events are not concentrated in one place but are spread across numerous municipalities in the area, including Rovato, Passirano, Cazzago San Martino, Provaglio d'Iseo, Lograto, Lumezzane, and others. This approach aims to involve the entire community of Franciacorta and the lower Brescia region.

Culture and civil commitment

The program combines different forms of expression: conferences and seminars, theatrical performances, workshops, reading competitions, and themed days. Each edition revolves around a specific theme, chosen as a common thread to reflect on the relationship between humans and the environment. Schools, associations, and citizens are active participants, fostering education and participation.

Rovato in the festival network

In Rovato, in the heart of Lombardy's Franciacorta region, the festival hosts some of its events, integrating the city into the network of municipalities sharing the project. The Festival Carta della Terra demonstrates how culture can become a tool for environmental awareness, building communities around the themes of sustainability and the future of the territory.
