As we approach the Avvicinandosi al primo Festival Transfrontaliero dell’Escursionismo nelle Maremme (June 14-15 in Rocchette di Fazio, Southern Tuscany) we have realized that this is a first edition of something happening in a place which very few people know. For this reason we decided to provide you with some introductory articles about the places and the guests featured in the Festival.
The starting point is the Santa Cristina Parish Churh. This is the venue which will hosts presentations and talks during the event. The church is now deconsacrated. It was built during the 13th centuring next to the fortress, overseeing the valley of the Albegna river.
A legend says that close to the church a templar knight was buried, an in fact the templar order had in Rocchette di Fazio one of its strongholds.

The festival comes from an idea by Irene Pellegrini –travel and migration sociologist, hiking guide, and writer- who also acts as the festival director. The event is supported by municipality of Semproniano, the social promotion association La Piazzoletta, Sentieri Liberi – Murci and by the pibinko.org network.
