LOCATION: is a small town in the Province of in the Italian region , located about 40 km northeast of Rome. As of 31 December 2004, it had a population of 932 and an area of 16.3 km². Anticoli Corrado borders the following municipalities: Mandela, , , , . Anticoli can be reached from Tivoli following Via Tiburtina Valeria.

Anticoli became known in the 19th century because its young inhabitants used to pose as models for the community of artists living near Piazza di Spagna in Rome. Some artists eventually went to see the birthplace of their models and found Anticoli a very picturesque site to the point of living there for some time. The town attracted artists until World War II. Anticoli and some of the neighbouring towns were portrayed in many paintings. Stanley Kramer's The Secret of Santa Vittoria (1969) was almost entirely shot here.

Anticoli Corrado has an important museum of modern and contemporary art and is an important touristic place, but mostly for people from Rome. However it has an international vocation because of its history and artistic past and the municipality, with the support of the local associations, wants to enhance this vocation. Legambiente Mondi Possibili bet on the touristic development of the valley and has created in Anticoli Corrado an Educational Centre for children and adults who want to build a green future.

@town In Anticoli Corrado there is a old street that is called Via Priaterra. This is the old “street of the artists”: between 1890 and 1940 here the artists had their studios. Via Priaterra is now not in a good situation. Our group is working since three years ago trying to convince Lazio Region to restore the artists studios. The students will help our volunteers and Anticoli Corrado municipality to clean the area and to communicate to Regione Lazio that we want the international artists again in Anticoli Corrado! It means: ● Cleaning the path from the grass ● Cleaning some studios ● Building signs to explain the history of Anticoli Corrado

The work will continue all the summer with more people from all around the world.

During the week-end the people of Anticoli Corrado will organize activities for the people to take place in the main square of the town. The group will help the people of Anticoli with the activities for the children of the town with our volunteers / educators. If someone wants to give a hand also for other activities we can arrange it with the mayor.

@valley In the Valley flows an important roman river called . This river is near a forgotten railway and now we're working for transforming it in a bicycle path. Students will explore with us the path and they'll check the work to do for this transformation. The exploration will be a walk with our volunteers and people of the valley. During the exploration we will also control the signs and we will clean a little area near the river.

@home Il Casone Countryhouse is our home base in the Valley. The mission of Tavola Rotonda and Legambiente Mondi Possibili associations is to improve this educational centre. We want the people that comes here to leave something of themselves in the house. Students will help the Director and volunteers to improve part of the structure and the environmental aspects.

Some of the activities: work in the garden; repairing chairs, tables, paintings; environmental communication in the centre; bicycle repairs.

WHO ARE WE? Legambiente is a non-profit leading environmental organisation in that works for the safeguarding and enhancement of natural resources; environment; common health; animal and plant species; historical, artistic and cultural heritage; territories and landscapes. Since its foundation in 1980, Legambiente’s hallmark is the scientific environmentalism, which is the willingness to build every environmental protection project on a solid base made of scientific data. Legambiente mission is to make the environmental culture the centre of a new kind of development and diffused well-being. Important values for the association are the improvement of environmental quality, the fight against all forms of pollution, a wise use of natural resources, the construction of a more balanced relationship between human beings and the nature. Spreading those values 5 could be an effective way to respond to the challenges of our time: the modernization of the economy, the commitment to beat unemployment, the struggle for peace and against all forms of discrimination and social injustice, the effort to consider globalization not only as a mere trading of goods but also as a means to improve quality of life and to give rights to billions of men and women forced to live in poverty. Formed by 20 regional committees and more than 2000 local groups, Legambiente runs national and international campaigns about different issues.

LEGAMBIENTE’S WORKCAMPS Legambiente has been organising volunteering campaigns since 1991, promoting summer-camps in many protected areas both in Italy and abroad, with the aim of raising public awareness on environmental issues such as forest-fire or habitat degradation, collecting information on natural resources, promoting green tourism, developing sustainable economy, helping people to be active for the conservation of our natural and cultural heritage. International workcamps are part of the association’ s main campaigns and volunteers’ activities contribute to achieve the goals of each campaign. The common aim of workcamps is to improve areas with distinctive naturalistic and cultural features and to help preventing environmental emergencies of our country. The main activities volunteers carry out are related to paths maintenance or cleaning of beaches and protected areas; furthermore, volunteers collaborate in fire prevention or raising awareness on environmental issues. Some workcamps are organized in mountain locations, in the framework of the campaign “Carovana delle Alpi” (Caravan of Alps). This annual campaign, which was first organised in 2002, describes the alpine system in detail, reports cases of environmental decay and evaluates experiences of sustainable development and ecological re-conversion of the economies. It also supports the consolidation of the system of protected natural areas. Other projects are focused on the conservation of our national cultural heritage: the aims of “Salvalarte” (Save the Art) are to awake public opinion, promote the claim and restoration of monuments and art works that have been abandoned to decay. Legambiente also gives the opportunity to discover small villages and local traditions of Italy, protected and promoted by “Piccola Grande Italia” (Small Big Italy) campaign, which aims at increasing the value of our great heritage – environment, cultural property, local typical products and traditions – cherished in small Italian towns, the irreplaceable defence grounds of the Italian identity. The campaign has already involved 500 towns with less than 5 thousands inhabitants, mountain and provincial communities.

Every volunteer is responsible for all aspects of the daily life on the work camp. Pets are not allowed since they could interfere with local flora and fauna. Food. In the most part of our workcamps food will be almost vegetarian and based on local products. Volunteers will eat meat very few times. Language: English is the official language of the work camp. Each workcamp will host a maximum of 2 volunteers for each country, in order to create a heterogeneous group and to foster a real cultural exchange.

The workcamp you are going to join is organised by an association who is part of the international youth network Alliance. The Alliance of European Voluntary Service Organisations (http://www.alliance-network.eu/) promotes intercultural education, understanding and peace through voluntary service. International Voluntary Service (IVS) strives for a fairer world, one that is more sustainable, more healthy and with more balanced resources and social justice, that will lead toward the development of people, communities, their happiness and solidarity.

The Alliance, also through the workcamps, is implementing an international Sustainability Campaign (http://www.alliance-network.eu/our- campaigns/environmental-sustainability-campaign/), aimed at spreading the principles of environmental sustainability and at raising active citizenship committed with a fairer society. Being aware of the delicate relationship between human beings and the surrounding environment, we invite all actors - volunteers, camp leaders, organisers – to reflect upon their impact on local communities as well as their role in our global society; we are all part of the same wonderful earth and have the responsibility of safeguarding the natural resources it offers.
