About Spring in Valnerina
The Spring of Valnerina
The Florovivaismo Exhibition Market of Sant'Anatolia di Narco, known as Spring in Valnerina, is one of the most anticipated events of the beautiful season in the province of Perugia. For an entire weekend, the historic center of the village fills with plants, flowers, scents, and colors, with exhibitors and nursery gardeners arriving from all over Umbria.
Between Flowers, Flavors, and Traditions
The event is not just a florovivaismo market: alongside the plant and gardening stands, there is space for the typical products of Valnerina, craft demonstrations such as mozzarella spinning, workshops dedicated to soil, bees, and biodiversity, meetings on Umbrian native fruits, and entertainment for children and families.
The Village and the Hemp Museum
The event is also an opportunity to discover Sant'Anatolia di Narco, historically linked to the cultivation and processing of hemp: during the festival, the Hemp Museum offers guided tours and weaving and spinning workshops. Painting exhibitions, historical costume parades, and itinerant concerts animate the village alleys, in a setting made unique by the spring blooming of the Nera river valley.
A Community Celebration
Organized by the Municipality of Sant'Anatolia di Narco with the BIM 'Nera e Velino' Consortium and the support of GAL Valle Umbra and Sibillini, Spring in Valnerina involves local associations, the Pro-Narco, and the agricultural institutes of the territory, in an event that combines green promotion, village enhancement, and sociality.
