The Organization Italia Nostra was born on 29 October 1955. For many years the cultural activities organized by Italia Nostra have contributed to spreading the “culture of conservation” of the urban and rural landscape, and of the cultural and environmental heritage in the country.
Italia Nostra has always considered the education and training on the issues of the landscape, environment and cultural heritage to be strategic in the belief that, only what is known can be protected and valued. Our section in Castiglione del Lago is active sine 2003. Heritage, landscape, active citizenship, social equity and entertainment are the keywords of the projects and competitions proposed by Italia Nostra, at national and local level. 

Every year our section organizes training for adults and teachers on the use of Heritage for social inclusion, and competitions between schools in our region.
We are among the promoter of the net of Faro Trasimeno, a recognized NGO who operates for the promotion of the values of the Faro Convention.

We have experience on the organization of training and cultural activities related to the prmotion and use of heritage as social tool, like:
– Campaign for the protection the city walls > municipalities and local communities collaborated for the restoring and protection of the ancient city wall, in our case we are talking about Etruscan city walls.
– Cultural heritage week > from heritage walks to guided tours, extraordinary openings or maintenance, conferences and information gazebos, online events and dissemination with films. The object of these actions is often that minor cultural heritage that risks oblivion and abandonment but there are also industrial archeology sites, parks and individual movable cultural assets, such as altarpieces and sculptures.
– Alla ricerca dei beni comuni >Training activities and participated project workshops for the communities, identifying concrete actions to support processes of safeguarding and conservation of common goods.
