On the Ground
RIVE 2023 gathering – excitement, news and proposals from the world of ecovillages
What would it be like to spend four days in a forest with people I didn’t know? Would I have missed the comforts I now relied on so much in the city?
Fires in Sicily – Summer 2023
Millions invested to revitalize the country, for major infrastructure such as the bridge over the Strait that will finally connect Sicily to the rest of Italy. But unless we seriously begin to demand that every last penny be spent on land protection, on reforestation, on restoring fertility to a dying land, on preserving what remains of the island that was once “the garden of the Mediterranean,” before long, too little, there will be little to connect.
RE.SEEDING – by Soffi di Terra

A window on the Pergola School Garden.
Teacher Federica and “our” Paolo Ciarimboli are among the founders of the Pergola School Garden project and are the ones who most often involved us in the wonder of the educational discoveries that the garden activities were producing.

Lands of the Blues – the market

Tiziano and his plants
The main project I am focusing on is the regeneration of a 2.4-hectare piece of land that belonged to my great-grandparents and has been abused by traditional agriculture (mainly wheat monoculture) for several years. In doing so, I am also developing a nice human network of like-minded people in the area.” we read on the profile that Titian has prepared on our website and continues: “The dream is to turn Abruzzo into a huge scattered Eco village! :-)”
Capre e Cesti: putting our idea into action
The project revolves around the idea of reorganising a cheese production trade, which was started 10 years ago with a few goats (presently a herd of 60) by Attilio, a native of the village of Tufillo. The Fattoria Fonte Trocchi is collaborating trough the purchase of 2/3 of the goats and is contributing with two new workers (Federica and Tullio) and occasionally other participants such as woofers and potential new workers on trial. We will collaborate with the Corpo Forestale (Forestry Department) to determine the areas of woodland and scrubland where firebreaks can be created through goat grazing, with Saverio Danubio, a biotechnologist, for the management of the goat manure in an insect-composting plant, and with local farmers for hay and oat supplies during periods when grazing is not sufficient.
The school vegetable garden in Pergola
The time of the resumption is coming and, as often happens, moving the hands free from deadlines and tasks has led to new enlightenment. Federica, Massimo and Paolo wondered about the evolution that the world around the Garden has experienced over the years and came to the conclusion that the Garden deserved to live a new phase.
