Masca in Langa, Roberto Galliano, http://www.mascainlanga.it/ [email protected] Organization: Masca in Langa is a cultural association devoted to the valorization of cultural and natural specificities of Valle Bormida, part of the Langa area in southern Piemonte. The association is cooperating with Regione Piemonte and Finpiemonte on the ‘Contrat de Rivière’ (River Agreement) of the Bormida river. The ‘Contrat de Rivière’ is a participative instrument for negotiated planning within River Restoration processes. This specific ‘Contrat de Rivière’ is not only devoted to environmental aspects but it has also a special focusing on social and economic revitalization of the Valley. In this perspective tourism has emerged as one of the main drivers of change and contributors for a sustainable exploitation of local resources. Outline of the project: The project is intended to pursue the practice of artistic camouflage with the aim of improving the integration of our industrial buildings within the natural environment, so to plan, subsequently, the design of specific touristic tracks, which promote both naturalistic and artistic characteristics of the landscape. The industrial sheds, as they are spread all over the Valle Bormida, have always been representing a key limiting factor for tourist valorization of the territory. This project is based on the assumption that if you can’t remove the problem you have to learn to cope with it. The industrial sheds cannot be pulled down – many of them are still in use today, for many others the cost of demolition is too high – but they can be used to make artistic statements. The idea is to promote artistic performances, with the participation of private citizens, making imaginative use of industrial sheds to produce interesting buildings and to beautify the landscape.

It aims to allow the people who will undertake this journey to live an experience through history and art, designed with the spirit of the traveler who is more interested in the travel itself than in the final goal: this travel in fact expresses an intense experience of art in its broadest sense of growth, discovering new horizons of thought. Taking historical research as a benchmark of the experience, a journey will be prepared into the land of contemporary art (for example, the Paris of Picasso) or of ancient art (eg Medieval Irish Art). The main objectives include an effective collaboration between the hospitality industry and companies in the area (art galleries, historical libraries, small newspapers, theatrical companies, museums, historical places) and the development of cultural tourism that goes beyond the mass, but which relies on the passion of the general public towards role-playing games (briefly mentioned in the composition of our project) with the realization at the end of the trip of Cahiers de Voyage (painted, drawings or creative writing) to be submitted for publication.
