The portal of the Umbria Region that allows you to get information on the main places of culture in Umbria (museums, archaeological sites, libraries ...)
The Ecomuseo del Tevere covers an area of almost 300 square kilometres from Perugia to Umbertide and Torgiano, following the route of the Tiber and its tributaries.
[...]
It is a project for the social, cultural, economic and touristic development of the area that aims to create a dynamic territorial workshop where known or abandoned traditions, ancient professions, territorial and cultural resources are catalogued.
Six areas of study have been located; for each one have been created cultural maps that take a census of all the environmental, landscape, historical, artistic, archaeological, architectonic, anthropological and economic resources. The maps also list the landscape footpaths of enhancement, recovery and protection of the territory.
The most important projects of the different areas are:
Area 1 (Umbertide) il sentiero dei vecchi mulini ad acqua (the paths of the old watermills) and the projects i giochi al fiume (games at the river)
Area 2 (Parlesca - Solfagnano - Rancolfo - La Bruna - Civitella Bertazzone – Morleschio) the Riscoperta del mestiere del Barcaiolo, (rediscovery of the job of the boatman) with a visit to the berths.
Area 3 (Ponte Pattoli - Montelabate Ramazzano - Villa Pitlgnano - Ponte Felcino) Bosco Didattico (didactic wood), an environmental enhancement project dedicated to the knowledge of the vegetable kingdom, and Intrecciamo i fili (Braids the threads) an enhancement project of the industrial archaeology of the former wool factory.
Area 4 (Civitella d'Arna - Ripa - Pianello - Colombella - Piccione - Fratticìola S. - Sant'Egidio) together with Area 6 (San Martino in Campo - San Martino in Colle - Santa Maria Rossa - Sant'Andrea d'Agliano) Percorso sulle orme dei banditi e briganti (itinerary following the steps of bandits) with excursions and theatrical performances and the itinerary Dal fiume alla collina tra ex minire e dipinti (from the river to the hill among mines and paintings) to discover the monuments of the territory.
Area 5 5 (Perugia - Pretola - P. Valleceppi - Parco Santa Margherita - Ponte San Giovanni – Collestrada) La raccolta di legna sul fiume Tevere praticata dagli uncinatori (the collection of wood hooked from the Tiber), the itinerary Sentiero delle lavandaie (Path of the laundresses) and the activities connected with the Brigata Pretolana folk singing band of oral tradition.
Area 2, together with Area 5, has a project dedicated to the disappeared and forgotten professions.
