Today more than ever, in a liquid present, it is necessary to find tangible points of reference that are a synthesis of reflections, memory but also the future in the key of sustainability: The Loghino Canova dell’Olmo is a synthesis of this, with its perfect spatial relationship where the intimate dimension dialogues with the surrounding space and the deep perspective field of the Po Valley where the gaze is lost in the land as if it were a sea.
Since today there is no reflection that goes beyond the economic dimension, the Loghino Canova dell’Olmo does not want to represent the individual choice of living in the countryside but a testimony and sharing of possible lifestyles in which man reclaims the correct relationship of self with people and relationship with mother earth. Thinking about the development of a territory and the renewed role it can play requires evident experiences, which can tell and bear witness through the rediscovered meaning of new liturgies.

The Loghino Canova dell’Olmo will open to the public to be a good practice of sustainability, representing not only an individual choice of contemporary living in the countryside but sharing possible lifestyles, sociability, integration and the right relationship with mother earth.

Therefore not only a place of meeting and reflection but good practice in itself and an example of sustainable recovery and management with low environmental impact, a place of synthesis between the need for well-being (social and personal) and a response to the urgencies of the contemporary world (productivity , connection, creativity).

Various local entities will be invited to participate in the construction of a program of events and meeting, reflection and community animation activities which will revolve around some macro-themes (ECONOMY, ENVIRONMENT, CULTURE AND TRADITIONS, WELL-BEING, ETHNOGRAPHY, DIGITAL DEVELOPMENT, TASTE ) to define the contours of a new reading of the development potential of an agricultural territory and the renewed role that rurality can play in contemporary social development.

And it will do so through an annual program of conferences, meetings to present good practices and reflection (books, research, degree theses, stories of traditions), experiences, educational workshops, small creative residencies, events and activities for the promotion of sociality and of the arts, of meeting and exchange.

From the discussion and collaboration online, a program of events, initiatives, public presentations and workshops of at least 24 annual appointments will arise which will be promoted and implemented in the form of free public participation and in digital form.
The calendar will develop around certain periods of the year, particularly significant for the rural tradition and the life cycle of the countryside, such as for example the month of January with the celebration of rites linked to the figure of Saint Anthony, protector of animals, March with the tradition of “Cosa mars”, the ritual passage through the courts with sticks, pots and milk cans to chase away winter and welcome the arrival of spring, May (Marian month, characterized by the flowering of roses, the recitation of the Holy Rosary in the courtyards, from the production of the first fruits of the garden), the month of August, which has as its fulcrum the feast of the Assumption, which for the Municipality of Curtatone takes on particular importance with the ancient Fair of Graces and the international competition dei Madonnari), the month of November with the rituals linked to the 11th, St. Martin’s day.

This digital platform will be the big box that will hold together stories, images, voices, films, information in a complete and structured form, returning suggestions and progressively becoming a treasure of experiences accessible to all, where to meet, discuss, learn, know, experience the profound relationship between the identity of the Po Valley, its rural dimension and the entire planet.
