Aim of the event, which involves each year throughout Italy tens of thousands of visitors, is to raise public awareness on the importance of conservation and development of private cultural assets, which represent an extremely important part of the historical and architectural Italian heritage, whose custody and maintenance is left to individual owners.
Many activities proposed at the Castle in this special opening, are in collaboration with the Economic and Technological Technical Institute “Aulo Ceccato” of Thiene - in a combined school / work program - designed within a larger project that will culminate at Viridalia, the exhibition linked to natural gardening market.
A growth opportunity for the young students, so they can get closer to understanding what it means to maintain, preserve and enhance the historic Italian heritage and grasp ideas about the job opportunities that this could offer. Tourism-related activities, botany, maintenance of the green, art, gastronomy, teaching, just to name a few.
All this fits into the big picture of Viridalia, which takes place for the nineth year at the Castle, thanks to the synergy between the curator Paola Thiella and Properties. An event that annually draws thousands of passionate people or intrigued by the proposal of a lifestyle based on respect for nature and for humans. The multidisciplinary aspect of Viridalia is the basis of the school / work alternation project established with the Ceccato Institute and Institute of Agrarian “Corazzin” of Piavon, Oderzo with a series of activities from the practice of bio-ecologic gardening, research and production of food-related nature, deepening the study of history and art, the creation and promotion of events, educational activities, interaction with the public and, especially, the development of capacity to work in multidisciplinary areas.
