Sorsi di Natura

Wild Herbs at MuEt

In the heart of Valle Camonica, in Niardo (a municipality in the province of Brescia), the MuEt hosts Sorsi di Natura, a workshop inviting you to rediscover your connection with nature through the herbs that grow wild in meadows and along paths. This event is part of the winter program that enlivens the ethnographic museum during the cold season.

A Workshop for All Senses

The session is led by Abbi Molinari, an expert in phyto-alimentary practices, a gatherer, and a member of the Italian Phyto-alimentary Association. This is not just a theoretical lesson; it's a sensory experience that teaches you to use sight, smell, touch, and taste to get to know wild herbs. You'll discover the secrets of harvesting, drying, and blending, culminating in the preparation of infusions and teas.

The afternoon concludes with a tasting of the teas prepared together, a convivial moment that transforms theory into a sip to be savored.

Niardo and Valle Camonica

Niardo is a village that preserves the traditions of the Brescia mountains, in a valley known for its UNESCO World Heritage rock carvings and its unspoiled nature. Events like Sorsi di Natura tell the story of this territory through the popular knowledge linked to plants, fostering a dialogue between peasant culture and well-being.
