Citofonare Albugnano

This project involves territorial regeneration and cultural co-design, and focuses on Albugnano (AT), a village well-known for its important Romanesque heritage but badly affected by rural depopulation, with a current population of five hundred inhabitants. Coordinated by the Polimi DESIS Lab and co-financed by Creative Europe, it involved residents, associations and the local administration in building a vision for the future based on participatory governance, low-impact cultural tourism, and the promotion and enhancement of the local heritage. The initiatives include a narrative walking trail with information points, a green space for performances, tactical urbanism in the town square, and intermunicipal ventures. It has strengthened social networks and produced solid results in the area, generating a lasting impact both for local stakeholders and also the community.
