LOCATION: Anticoli Corrado is a small town in the Province of Rome in the Italian region Latium, 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, Marano Equo, Rocca Canterano, Roviano, Saracinesco. 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. Legambiente local group: Legambiente Mondi Possibili was born in 2006. It organises The Global Sharing day in Festambiente Mondi Possibili - http://festambiente.mondipossibili.it/ and several activities for bike mobility - www.magnalonga.net PERIOD Half June / Half July (28 days) NUMBER OF PARTICIPANTS Minimum 5 - Maximum 12 LEADER OF THE GROUP a.

DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTIVITIES: Activities of the students during the camp: 1 @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 Aniene. 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.
