Women and Washhouses – Lived and told stories by mountain women
A special initiative dedicated to rediscovering a precious and often forgotten cultural heritage: washhouses and the stories of the women who used them.
It will be a journey into memory, among water, community, and life stories that deserve to be heard and shared. Through moments of storytelling, music, and tasting local products, we want to highlight these symbolic places and preserve the testimonies of those who lived them.
Participating means connecting with true, exciting stories deeply tied to the land. It's an opportunity to rediscover our roots, get to know the community better, and experience an engaging and authentic cultural event, as well as celebrate together.
