Fantasmi letterari, fantasmi reali

We inform you that the events of “La Forma dell'Acqua”, scheduled at the Colfiorito Marsh, will take place within a protected natural area. The Colfiorito Park, established in 1995, constitutes an ecosystem of particular importance for the local flora and fauna.

Umbria Green Festival has prepared all the necessary measures in order to guarantee full respect for the environment and the protection of the biodiversity present in the area. In particular:

- meetings will take place at 6.30 pm to avoid the use of artificial lighting;

- battery amplification with low acoustic impact shall be employed only;

- all the authorizations required at regional level have been obtained, including the Environmental Incidence Assessment Void (VIncA) issued by the Umbria Region, ensuring compliance with the protocols for safeguarding the fauna and flora present.

Participants are recommended to: 

- bring blanket or pillow, avoiding the setting up of permanent structures that could disturb the ecosystem;

- use personal water bottles to reduce the use of single-use containers;

- do not abandon waste of any kind in the area;

- park at Piazzale delle Casermette (setting on the navigator “Ex Casermette Colfiorito”) and reach the Palude with a short walk of about 10 minutes.

For further information, you can contact the organization via the official channels of Umbria Green Festival.

The ultimate goal of "This is Water"—combining the strategies and founding principles of the Umbria Green Festival—is to raise widespread public and regional awareness of essential issues of our time, issues that concern us all. Alongside this, the initiative aims to make Colfiorito and the surrounding Foligno mountains a driving force for cultural and conscious tourism, a landscape to be actively experienced, a hub for growth, relationships, and high-quality anthropological and literary content, thus intersecting the local natural and landscape resources with the socio-economic-cultural fabric that can and must impact that space. Furthermore, as mentioned above, the ultimate goal is to achieve Goals 5 and 10 of the 2030 Agenda, contributing to the fight against inequality and the achievement of gender equality through self-determination and respect. The participating writers will discuss these themes in beautiful and unique locations, such as Colfiorito Park, a natural setting in the Umbria-Marche Apennines.

Guest: Antonella Lattanzi

In case of rain the event will be held in the teaching room of the Colfiorito park.
