The inauguration of the new Transluoghi headquarters will take place on March 8 and 9 at the renovated Antico Frantoio: the Ecomuseum is the town’s integrated system for tourism and cultural engagement, the result of a project by the Municipality of Morigerati funded by the Operational Program for Action and Cohesion, complementary to the National Operational Program for Culture and Development (FESR 2014–2020), and by the Ministry of Culture.

Transluoghi is thus preparing to welcome the first visitors to the multimedia exhibition installed in the Antico Frantoio, created to give voice to the life stories of the local community — which has been involved from the very beginning in the process of co-creating the Ecomuseum — as well as to allow visitors to experience their first immersion in the cultural and environmental landscape of the area.

Below is the event schedule; the event is free and open to everyone.
