The Association
organizes every year, from September to November, an exhibition dedicated exclusively
to the theme of nature and the environment. Other cultural activities are organized
during the year: conferences, seminars, workshops, study and research groups.
It focuses on initiatives that enhance the relationship between artists and the
public, contributing to a creative revitalisation of the local area. It also aims
at collaborating with similar Institutions in Italy and abroad.
