Cultural holidays
(Art, music, theatre and dance - psycho-physical
Well-being, dance-therapy, music-therapy, graphology)
We intend for cultural holidays, holidays whose
aim is to operate in the field of the conservation and the
restoration of the cultural assets, to know and to participate
in mainly cultural initiatives, courses and stages in artistic
field. They are generally organized by associations or agencies.
A travel in Italy is always an artistique tour since the artistic
treasures are so diffused in this Country that we can really
consider it as a true art gallery in the open air: besides
half of the historical-artistic patrimony of the world is
in this Country.
Italy is extraordinarily rich of memories of its ancient past:
theatres and other buildings of Greek and roman age; entire
cities, roads and boroughs once buried and today are back
to the light thanks to patient and skillful diggings; temples,
statues, coins, registrations, objects of daily use. In all
the regions, in every city and country, we find testimony
of a deep-rooted and diffused artistic tradition in all Italy,
sometimes under "the smallest" form of the handicraft.
Numerous associations, institutes, cooperatives, organize
during the summer period courses, stages and seminaries in
several artistic and cultural fields, that can attract people
on holidays above all if they take place in tourist venues
of particular interest.
