This is the seventh year in which the Apennine is reinvented and recreated by the encounter of poets and musicians with the inhabitants of countries located on the ridge between Emilia and Tuscany. A small festival with a giant dignity that spreads between woods and clearings, between uninhabited mountains and villages, taking its time the honour of listening to a talking landscape.

An edition designed for a multiform audience that follows a childhood memory, a dinosaur toy that witnesses the seriousness of the game that puts everyone on the same track and enters the world with a light footsteps of those who plan to experience an adventure.

Six days of events in six special places, far from weekday reasons.
