INFO ABOUT THE VENUE:
Foligno, in Umbria, central Italy, will host the groups for the implementation of the project.
The lowland city of Foligno is significantly different from the classic Umbrian hillside village. It was founded before the
year 1000, next to what was once “Fulginia”, a small town that came under Roman control in the early 3rd century BC.
Urban development started between the 11th and 12th centuries, peaking in the mid-14th century. The occupation by
the papal army of Eugene IV in 1439 marked the end of the city’s autonomy. Foligno, with its characteristic egg shape,
has at its centre Piazza della Repubblica, which houses the main civil and religious buildings. It is surrounded by a
maze of labyrinthine streets and smaller squares, which form the outer ring of the city behind the neat rows of the
main buildings. Between the Unification of Italy and the 1930s, the city gates and part of the walls were completely
demolished. Foligno is a treasure trove of art: the Perugian Renaissance has left its mark on the Nunziatella
Oratory, Palazzo Trinci preserves traces of the early 15th-century international Gothic style, while contemporary art
can be seen at the CIAC, the Italian Centre for Contemporary Art.
