📍 About the location
LOCATION: The work camp will be held at the House laboratory Cerquosino that is located on the Peglia Mountain, in the countryside 25 km away from the town of Orvieto in one of those disadvantaged and poorly productive areas that are nearly preserved intact until today. Cerquosino is situated inside the natural reserve of Elmo Melonta park, place of notable environmental interest. Inside flows the stream Melonta, where it is possible to take a bath.
The inhabitants of the area are mainly farmers; the average age of the inhabitants is very high as the new generations emigrate to the city. http://cerquosino.altervista.org/ facebook: Cerquosino Artemide
⚠️ Requirements
Notes: remember that the house laboratory is very isolated, in the middle of a forest. Bring with you all the thing for personal use as the nearest shop is very far away with no public transportation to reach it.
It is recommended to book a flight that will allow you to get to Orvieto in the late afternoon.
We will communicate the time of the meeting point at Orvieto Train Station by email.
