Regional Conference in UMBRIA (Italy)

The Regional Conference in Umbria will take place in Colfiorito to involve the regional community in the development of the Pilot Action of the Casermette former army camp.
The conference will take place on 9 November 2011 at 5.30 pm in the Casermette building hosting the Colfiorito Natural Park offices. Residents, stakeholders, local SMEs, institutions and associations have been invited.
The Conference will be an occasion to discuss the future of the Colfiorito area, located on the eastern border of Umbria, where traces of the army activity are still very much present: not only through the Casermette complex, but as a memory of WWII, the Resistence and the stories of the prisoners who were held here.
