RURALIAinBAND - Longobardi

The "RURALIAinBAND" project proposes an evocative itinerary on the traces of the rural churches dotting the territory of the Lower Tyrrhenian Cosentino. The project represents an effort to open sacred places located in marginal realities to public use, enhancing the artistic treasures they hold, which are often abandoned to neglect despite their considerable historical, artistic and architectural value, and promoting their networking for wider tourist enjoyment.

In these peripheral communities of our region, brass bands have always marked important moments in social life, such as religious celebrations and popular festivals. With this in mind, "RURALIAinBAND" intends to promote - through the expressiveness of band music, artistic beauties and landscapes - the extraordinary singularities that distinguish each of the villages involved in the initiative and that are generated by the unique relationship between the communities themselves and the environment for a conscious and sustainable tourism.

The fifth and final event will take place on 8 September 2023 at the Church of Santa Maria di Tauriana in Longobardi (Contrada Tauriana).
