ROUTES

Starting from the historical route connecting Ireland with the Holy Land, the project aims to define and connect the central path with routes reaching it from various directions into a single, large tourism and cultural network.
The activity, already initiated, aims to narrate, to contribute to its preservation, the extraordinary tapestry and variety of the tradition of rural and pastoral Europe, in connection with the network of places of worship dedicated to the Archangel Michael, venerated by Jews, Christians, and Muslims.

A precise choice of project freedom envisions the possibility that the Path, like a watercourse, becomes 'navigable even in its tributaries,' so that not only the characteristics of the territories traversed by the traditional Path line but also those of less proximate and even distant areas can be explored and narrated with digital technologies to wayfarers and particularly to young people and students.

Especially to these is addressed the project of exploring a variegated land, rich in memory, through a real and virtual museum that retraces, in the footsteps of the veneration of Saint Michael, the rural history of Europe over the centuries, which has left extraordinary traces in its Tangible and Intangible Heritage and which continues to regenerate alive and vital and to share its multifaceted beauty in an increasingly sustainable way.
