LOCATION:
Anticoli Corrado is a small town in the Province of Rome in the Italian region Latium, located about 40 km
northeast of Rome. As of 31 December 2004, it had a population of 932 and an area of 16.3 km².
Anticoli Corrado borders the following municipalities: Mandela, Marano Equo, Rocca Canterano, Roviano,
Saracinesco. Anticoli can be reached from Tivoli following Via Tiburtina Valeria.
Anticoli became known in the 19th century because its young inhabitants used to pose as models for the
community of artists living near Piazza di Spagna in Rome. Some artists eventually went to see the birthplace
of their models and found Anticoli a very picturesque site to the point of living there for some time. The town
attracted artists until World War II. Anticoli and some of the neighbouring towns were portrayed in many
paintings. Stanley Kramer's The Secret of Santa Vittoria (1969) was almost entirely shot here.
Anticoli Corrado has an important museum of modern and contemporary art and is an important touristic
place, but mostly for people from Rome. However it has an international vocation because of its history and
artistic past and the municipality, with the support of the local associations, wants to enhance this vocation.
Legambiente Mondi Possibili bet on the touristic development of the valley and has created in Anticoli Corrado
an Educational Centre for children and adults who want to build a green future.
Legambiente local group: Legambiente Mondi Possibili was born in 2006. It organises The Global Sharing
day in Festambiente Mondi Possibili - http://festambiente.mondipossibili.it/ and several activities for bike
mobility - www.magnalonga.net

DESCRIPTION OF THE ACTIVITIES:
Activities of the students during the camp:
1
@town
In Anticoli Corrado there is a old street that is called Via Priaterra. This is the old “street of the artists”: between
1890 and 1940 here the artists had their studios. Via Priaterra is now not in a good situation. Our group is
working since three years ago trying to convince Lazio Region to restore the artists studios. The students will
help our volunteers and Anticoli Corrado municipality to clean the area and to communicate to Regione Lazio
that we want the international artists again in Anticoli Corrado!
It means:
● Cleaning the path from the grass
● Cleaning some studios
● Building signs to explain the history of Anticoli Corrado
The work will continue all the summer with more people from all around the world.
During the week-end the people of Anticoli Corrado will organize activities for the people to take place in the
main square of the town.
The group will help the people of Anticoli with the activities for the children of the town with our volunteers /
educators. If someone wants to give a hand also for other activities we can arrange it with the mayor.
@valley
In the Valley flows an important roman river called Aniene. This river is near a forgotten railway and now we're
working for transforming it in a bicycle path.
Students will explore with us the path and they'll check the work to do for this transformation.
The exploration will be a walk with our volunteers and people of the valley. During the exploration we will also
control the signs and we will clean a little area near the river.
@home
Il Casone Countryhouse is our home base in the Valley. The mission of Tavola Rotonda and Legambiente
Mondi Possibili associations is to improve this educational centre. We want the people that comes here to leave
something of themselves in the house.
Students will help the Director and volunteers to improve part of the structure and the environmental aspects.
Some of the activities: work in the garden; repairing chairs, tables, paintings; environmental communication
in the centre; bicycle repairs.

Location and leisure: Anticoli Corrado is a village with less than 1000 inhabitants, 50 km from Rome, in
Lazio region. Anticoli Corrado could be a milestone for tourism. This because of its proximity to Rome, because
it is included in the Aniene Valley (that can be visited on foot or by bike), because it has a long artistic history,
because it is a very nice village.
During the free time you can have excursions in the Aniene Valley, visit Tivoli or the very nice villages nearby,
and go once to Rome.
1 day trip to Tivoli by public buses (tickets not included)
1 day trip to Rome by public buses (tickets not included)

WHO ARE WE?
Legambiente is a non-profit leading environmental organisation in Italy that works for the
safeguarding and enhancement of natural resources; environment; common health; animal and plant species;
historical, artistic and cultural heritage; territories and landscapes. Since its foundation in 1980, Legambiente’s
hallmark is the scientific environmentalism, which is the willingness to build every environmental
protection project on a solid base made of scientific data.
Legambiente mission is to make the environmental culture the centre of a new kind of
development and diffused well-being. Important values for the association are the improvement of
environmental quality, the fight against all forms of pollution, a wise use of natural resources, the
construction of a more balanced relationship between human beings and the nature. Spreading those values
5
could be an effective way to respond to the challenges of our time: the modernization of the economy, the
commitment to beat unemployment, the struggle for peace and against all forms of discrimination and social
injustice, the effort to consider globalization not only as a mere trading of goods but also as a means to improve
quality of life and to give rights to billions of men and women forced to live in poverty.
Formed by 20 regional committees and more than 2000 local groups, Legambiente runs national and
international campaigns about different issues.
LEGAMBIENTE’S WORKCAMPS
Legambiente has been organising volunteering campaigns since 1991, promoting summer-camps in
many protected areas both in Italy and abroad, with the aim of raising public awareness on environmental
issues such as forest-fire or habitat degradation, collecting information on natural resources, promoting green
tourism, developing sustainable economy, helping people to be active for the conservation of our natural and
cultural heritage. International workcamps are part of the association’ s main campaigns and volunteers’
activities contribute to achieve the goals of each campaign.
The common aim of workcamps is to improve areas with distinctive naturalistic and cultural features
and to help preventing environmental emergencies of our country. The main activities volunteers carry out are
related to paths maintenance or cleaning of beaches and protected areas; furthermore, volunteers collaborate
in fire prevention or raising awareness on environmental issues.
Some workcamps are organized in mountain locations, in the framework of the campaign “Carovana
delle Alpi” (Caravan of Alps). This annual campaign, which was first organised in 2002, describes the alpine
system in detail, reports cases of environmental decay and evaluates experiences of sustainable development
and ecological re-conversion of the economies. It also supports the consolidation of the system of protected
natural areas.
Other projects are focused on the conservation of our national cultural heritage: the aims of
“Salvalarte” (Save the Art) are to awake public opinion, promote the claim and restoration of monuments
and art works that have been abandoned to decay.
Legambiente also gives the opportunity to discover small villages and local traditions of Italy,
protected and promoted by “Piccola Grande Italia” (Small Big Italy) campaign, which aims at increasing
the value of our great heritage – environment, cultural property, local typical products and traditions –
cherished in small Italian towns, the irreplaceable defence grounds of the Italian identity. The campaign has
already involved 500 towns with less than 5 thousands inhabitants, mountain and provincial communities.
Every volunteer is responsible for all aspects of the daily life on the work camp.
Pets are not allowed since they could interfere with local flora and fauna.
Food. In the most part of our workcamps food will be almost vegetarian and based on local products.
Volunteers will eat meat very few times.
Language: English is the official language of the work camp. Each workcamp will host a maximum
of 2 volunteers for each country, in order to create a heterogeneous group and to foster a real cultural exchange.
The workcamp you are going to join is organised by an association who is part of the
international youth network Alliance. The Alliance of European Voluntary Service
Organisations (http://www.alliance-network.eu/) promotes intercultural education,
understanding and peace through voluntary service.
International Voluntary Service (IVS) strives for a fairer world, one that is more
sustainable, more healthy and with more balanced resources and social justice, that will
lead toward the development of people, communities, their happiness and solidarity.
also through the workcamps, is
Sustainability
Campaign
(http://www.alliance-network.eu/ourcampaigns/environmental-sustainability-campaign/),
aimed at spreading
the principles of environmental sustainability and at
raising active citizenship committed with a fairer society. Being aware of the delicate relationship between
human beings and the surrounding environment, we invite all actors - volunteers, camp leaders, organisers –
to reflect upon their impact on local communities as well as their role in our global society; we are all part of
the same wonderful earth and have the responsibility of safeguarding the natural resources it offers.
