Following the brief presentation of the Santa Cristina Parish Church, where the talks and presentations of the First Maremme Cross-Border Hiking Festival, will be held, let us introduce one of the guests.
Damiano Fabbri is the founder of the Freedom cultural association. He is one of the creators of the Cammino dei tre villaggi, the shortest trail in Italy, uniting in a 20-km hike the villages of San Giovanni in Tuscia, Barbarano Romano e Blera. Another one of Damiano’s ideas is the land to sea hike from San Giovanni in Tuscia to the Civitavecchia harbor. For the two books A piedi nel far west e 111 luoghi delle maremme che devi proprio scoprire, Damiano has been a very important guide in relation to bottom-up hiking and the world of transhumance.

The event is supported by municipality of Semproniano, the social promotion association La Piazzoletta, Sentieri Liberi – Murci and by the pibinko.org network.
