'nTramenti - Terra chi chiama

Two weeks from 21 August to 1 September 2023 full of events with identity and community action. A project within the "Tourism of Roots" of which Brognaturo is the lead municipality, articulated to find a new dimension to "staying" understood as the will, the choice to live the territory.

For the first time, the municipality of Brognaturo (VV) will host the festival of arts and sustainable choices promoted every year by the Calliope Sguardo d'Arte group and its founder, Dr. Maria De Giorgio. The festival entitled "'ntramenti - Terra chi chiama" represents the soul, the bond and the synergy between the municipality of Brognaturo and the "Gruppo Calliope Sguardo d'Arte".

At the centre of the event are some strong identity themes that are particularly in line with the country's migration history: roots, the relationship between past and future, the legacy of tradition and creativity as a language capable of emancipating and spreading awareness.

Below follows the programme:

Start on 21 August with "Welcome back to migrants" at 6 pm
