About Festival of Storytelling
Storytelling as a Cultural Practice
The Festival of Storytelling in Words and Music is a new cultural event that takes place in Preggio, a charming ancient village in the mountains, a hamlet of the municipality of Umbertide in the province of Perugia. The festival is dedicated to storytelling understood as a cultural practice: a dialogue between word, sound, and image that centers the art of telling stories.
Word, Sound, and Image
The event intertwines narration, music, and visual languages, giving space to local associations involved in the archaeological and cultural promotion of the territory. It is an opportunity to revive the village of Preggio through culture, in an intimate setting with great scenic charm.
A Village That Tells Its Own Story
Promoted by the Pro Loco Preggio with the support of the Municipality of Umbertide and the collaboration of the Santa Croce Museum, the festival is part of a broader project for the regeneration of the village. The goal is to attract both Italian visitors and the community of foreign residents in the area, contributing to the revitalization of the economy and the life of the ancient town.
