Güllüdere e Kizilçukur: la Valle delle Rose e la Valle Rossa in Cappadocia

convegno pubblico

Friday 7 May 2021, from 15:00-19:30
online sulla piattaforma Zoom

The event will be an occasion to get closer to and discovermore about the culturaland natural features of the context of the two valleys that are the focus of the Prize campaign, revealing to us the extent and the deep, lasting value of a landscape in constant flux, where the forms of human settlement and geology of the land bear the traces of an ancient way of living in these predominantly rock environments, balancing the various manifestations of nature and of the different cultures passing through this landscape through the centuries until the present day.

This represents another occasion to acquire in-depth knowledge about this place, aimed not only at landscape experts and scholars but also at the world of education and everyone interested in the culture of places, in general, and follows in the wake of a series of encounters on specific themes held in December last year and January of this year, the publication of the collective volume in October, and the documentary film and exhibition held in Ca’ Scarpa.
