As part of the programme of the Interreg Italy–Switzerland BlitzArt project, Fondazione Canova is organising a series of theoretical and practical workshops dedicated to traditional techniques for the restoration of buildings and Alpine landscapes.
The activities, free of charge and held in Italian, are open to a maximum of 12 participants for each workshop and are designed to offer opportunities for learning and exchange focused on traditional building techniques, promoting greater awareness of the value of Alpine architectural and landscape heritage.
Each workshop includes a brief theoretical introduction, accompanied by a guided visit to the village of Ghesc and the surrounding territory, followed by two days of hands-on work on site, during which participants will directly experiment with traditional techniques and materials.
