The First Cross-Border Maremme Hiking Festival is glad to have Marco D’Aureli as one of its guests. He is an anthropologist and the director of the museo del brigantaggio di Cellere and the museo della terra in Latera. Marco will tell us about his projects about cultural hiking: trails connecting small village museums or telling parts of the social history of Maremma, such as the Bandit trail in Cellere.
Marco is also a great expert of another cultural expression which unites various areas of maremma: ottava rima poetry. Each year in Latera the best impromptu poets from central Italy gather in Laters.
You may read (in Italian) about Marco and his museums both in A piedi nel far west and in the emons guide emons 111 luoghi delle Maremme che devi proprio scoprire. But, most of all, you may listen to his stories on Sunday June 15 in Rocchette di Fazio.
