Evening Conference
Sustainable Urban Revitalisation of Accumoli with Lightweight Membrane Structures
Date: Friday, May 19th, 2023, 6 p.m.
In connection with the reconstruction of the town of Accumoli, which was destroyed by the earthquake, the question of the future development of the Piazza San Francesco also arises. This square is important for the identity of the historic centre of Accumoli and at the same time must meet the needs of the population and support the development of the city. In order to meet these requirements, proposals for the new construction of lightweight membrane structures with integrated photovoltaics were developed within the framework of the postgraduate university courses "Redevelopment and Revitalisation" and "Lightweight Membrane Structures" (Danube University Krems) and will be presented and discussed.

Renewable Energy Communities in the Accumoli Reconstruction Process
Date: Friday, February 17th, 2023, 6 p.m.
In connection with the overall reconstruction of the city of Accumoli, the question of its future energy supply arises. The wish in the foreground is: which forms of generating renewable energies are possible in Accumoli? What role can renewable energy communities play in this and what role does the people of Accumoli play in this? What energy requirements can be expected in the future? How can conflicting goals between energy generation and monument protection or landscape protection be overcome? These questions were developed as part of a project week for the postgraduate university course "Renovation and Revitalization" and are to be presented and discussed.

Edoardo Micati, Researcher and expert on Pastoral Landscapes
The Agro-pastoral Landscape of the Apennines
Date: Wednesday, December 13th, 2022, 6 p.m.
During the webinar, lecturer Edoardo Micati, will talk about the "Agro-pastoral Landscape of the Apennines," illustrating the signs that man has left through the centuries on these mountains. The succession of images will follow a chronological pattern, starting with the caves and shelters under rock occupied by settled shepherds.
With the beginning of transhumance, human presence in the mountains becomes much more evident. They piled, piled, raised retaining walls, repaired collapses, channelled water, built enclosure walls and huts for shelter and overnight stays during periods of increased work. The dry-stone works, which will be discussed, characterize much of the mid-Apennine mountain farms and are the most obvious and impressive evidence of our ancestors' immense work.

Engage and Empowers Local Stakeholders
Danube Urban Brand+
Date: Thursday, July 28th, 2022, 6 pm
The title Danube Urban Brand brings together various projects that aim to use the cultural heritage of the Danube as a tool to develop local opportunities and common brands for communities at a lower economic level. The focus is on demographically shrinking regions, peripheral cities and border situations. For this, people need to be initiators of change. DANUrB maps the region, connects, enhances local heritage, and engages and empowers local stakeholders.
It is also important to build a brand. For this, under the umbrella of DANUrB, there are pocket guide tours, Danube Days Festivals, DANUrB school programs (with 12 schools from 6 countries), documentaries, mapping (atlas) and networking with other projects. Not only the six countries located along the Danube can benefit from the experience of this project, but also communities like Accumoli.

Understand the Relationship Between Food Production and the Surrounding Ecosystems
Peasant Agroecology and Autonomous Communities
Date: Wednesday, July 13th, 2022, 6 pm
Peasant agroecology is rooted in traditional farmer knowledge and has contributed since the beginning of agricultural practices to better understand the relationship between food production and the surrounding ecosystems: agriculture is fully integrated in ‘the territory’ which includes the environmental but also social and cultural dimension. Peasant agroecology respects diverse and regional knowledge based on horizontality and justice principles combined with scientific knowledge. It relies on farmer-to-farmer, intergenerational, and experiential learning processes and legitimizes the role of emotions and feelings in agricultural practices. By enhancing their autonomy and adaptive capacity, agroecology empowers producers and communities as key agents of change.
The urban counterpart of the rural experiences, supplement and reinforce the idea of agroecology as a comprehensive activity, is not only “for the countryside” strictly speaking. This is a window to the practices that can be carried out from the city, with its own characteristics, scales and conditions.

A Discussion on Usefulness and Usability
Sensor-Based Data Economy - Dataskop
Date: Wednesday, June 22nd, 2022, 6 pm
Sensors are delivering a constantly increasing amount of data available for multiple applications. Dataskop aims to facilitate these complex data directly in their real environment by using Low Power Wide Area Networks. Applications are manifold and can range from cultural heritage protection or community services to environmental monitoring and agriculture and in these respects is also of great value to the Accumoli region and surrounding areas. Demos from facility management and smart gardening are an impulse for a discussion on usefulness and usability.

The Village-Urban Relationship
Before Accumoli. A political and social history of the emigration from the villages in Italy
Date: Wednesday, June 8th, 2022, 6 pm
Migration due to natural disasters is of a special kind; it is related to changed living, working and production conditions. In the lecture, the village-urban relationship will be discussed in depth, as well as the social structures after earthquakes and other natural disasters. An important aspect, supported by historical examples, is also the importance of reconstruction, the different types of buildings suitable for this purpose, and the question why investments often aim more at the resettlement of inhabitants than at the consolidation and safeguarding of the affected buildings. The example of Accumoli and Amatrice will be used to shed more light on the issue of difficult to realize reconstruction.

Nature as a Teaching and Learning Place -
A Botanical Journey into the "ME"
Date: Wednesday, February 23, 2022, 6 pm
Together with you I would like to take a botanical journey, a journey back to nature, a journey back to your own " ME". Why a return to the "teaching and learning place nature"? - Because it is urgently necessary!!!
We are living in bizarre and tense times. Social, ecological and economic problems in abundance, apparently we are confronted with a hopeless situation, from which there seems to be no escape. But there is a way out, we only have to return to the life-affirming natural values. How? Well, I would have an idea to offer: namely, to consult nature as a role model and teacher.
(Apparently most of us have forgotten that we derive from nature, but we are natural beings through and through. And nature shows us every day how to live and survive. Let's just imitate her, shall we?) More info at www.die-oekologen.at And as always, "Pay attention to the plants, because they know what they are doing!"

Music as a Key to Revitalization
Date: Wednesday, January 26, 2022, 6 pm
The conference focuses on the various artistic expressions of the living environment, such as architecture, urban planning and music.

With the help of the Accademia Vicino as a symbol of the will to change the rigid concert formats, he tries to connect everything with Accumoli.
Finally, it will examine the imminent future of Accumoli and the Academy, i.e. what potential the place offers and what benefits an on-site event could have.

The Nativity Tradition in Europe
Date: Tuesday, December 7th, 2021, 6:30 p.m.
The nativity scene has a long tradition among Christmas customs. The origin of the depiction of the birth of the baby Jesus with human and animal figures in a context that depicts Bethlehem is traced back to Christmas Eve 1223, when Saint Francis of Assisi in Greccio, central Italy, with the participation of residents and monks, probably the first reenactment of the Nativity performed in a cave. The importance and identity-creating function of this custom, which is widespread throughout Europe and has been preserved to this day, is widely recognized, as for example the inclusion of the "Traismauer Crib" in Lower Austria on the UNESCO World Heritage List in November 2021 shows. The experts of the theme evening shed light on this tradition and explain it from different perspectives.

Memory Site in the Villages Affected by the Earthquake
Date: Wednesday, November 17th, 2021, 6:30 p.m.
Faro Cratere acts in several villages in central Italy affected by the 2016 earthquake, as a common framework for a sequence of Patrimonial Communities. Each one is activated by a different promoting association, to enhance its "human capital" at risk of dispersion, recovering the memory of daily life and work in the ancient village.
In fact, the promoters, together with the other institutions they will be able to involve, want to bridge the gap between the community that has left the village and the inevitably different community that will return in about ten years' time. In this context, we are asking the community of people, associations and institutions that identify with Accumoli, as with other villages in the crater, to recount their experiences in the Faro Italia Platform. We want to team up to join forces.
The Faro Convention, 'the Council of Europe's framework convention on the social value of cultural heritage', has just been ratified by Italy. The COE offices in Venice and Strasbourg have asked the Faro Venezia association to start up the prototype of a national atlas, to give consistency and awareness to the many bottom-up paths of heritage valorisation started by many local actors all over Italy. Against the risk of pulverisation, the Faro Italia Platform (FIP) proposes itself as a self-managed collaborative network, to give an example of our ability to work as a team to the rest of Europe. An extraordinary innovative framework of participatory cultural heritage valorisation paths, in which the Faro Cratere network can be embedded. In order to look ahead, we have decided to rename it Faro Cantiere: a memory workshop in the villages affected by the earthquake.

The Role of Superiority and Conspiracy Theories in the Austrian Cultural Heritage
Date: Wednesday, November 24th, 2021, 6:30 p.m.
We are pleased to invite you to the theme evening as part of the event series “CULTURAL HERITAGE - Burden and Passion”. The series of events is organized by EUROPA NOSTRA Austria in cooperation with Danube University Krems and the Waldviertel Academy.
The superstition goes back to the belief of peoples in supernatural powers (which can emanate from plants, animals, demons etc.). Superstition, which is still cultivated today, is also called popular belief. The word 'superstition' denotes (since the 15th century) beliefs that deviate from church dogma. The Christian Church did not succeed in exterminating it. Rather, she had to adapt a part. Conspiracy theories or myths mix reality with fabricated facts. For centuries they have served users as a strategy against insecurity, fear and powerlessness in threatening situations.

Agostino Cappello and Accumoli
Date: Saturday, October 30th, 2021, 10:30 a.m.
Accumoli owes a lot to Agostino Cappello, who wrote the history of our ancient country, founded in 1211. A scholar of contagious diseases, a precursor in the study of rabies and cholera, as well as a precursor in talking about public and personal hygiene in a world where ignorance, illiteracy, superstition represented the conditions of everyday life of the people.
Pietro Ferradini, born in Accumoli in 1945, in years of volunteer work has been interested in the cultural, environmental and naturalistic themes of the Monti della Laga and Monti Sibillini territory, making known the beauty of this environment by promoting exhibitions and excursions and collecting the vast material concerning the writings and works of Agostino Cappello.

Nature in the Garden – An Initiative for the Ecological Management of Gardens and Green Spaces
Date: Thursday , October 14th , 2021, 6:00 p.m.
One's own garden should be a recreational and functional area for people. So in order for our ideas not to go against natural cycles such as soil formation, water and nutrient supply, it makes sense to engage in near-natural care of the garden area. It is actually not that difficult: do without peat and mineral fertilisers and do not use pesticides. This promotes soil life, natural cycles and thus biodiversity in the garden.
How to implement this idea of a natural garden in practice will be explained in this lecture. Simple instructions and explanations should help to better understand the interrelationships in a green space in order to achieve sustainable and long-term success.

Permaculture, More Than a Philosophy..?
Date: Wednesday, May 26th, 2021, 6:00 p.m.
Most of our food is grown in monocultures. These depend on chemicals, waste resources and water and drain the soil. Since all this is done at the expense of nature, other people, animals and plants, a sustainable alternative is being sought.
• Sharing some insights about permaculture
• Observations how relationship-based (to places, to nature…and to the community) approaches can help organising negotiation processes about the use of nature and land

Music Remains - Musical Collaboration - Youth Training - History and Community
Date: Wednesday, May 12th, 2021, 6 p.m.
Music and a sense of community are the leitmotifs of the experiences that are told. The Accumoli band was founded in the summer of 1979 by a group of people from Accumoli who gathered around the pastor Don Beppe Piccioni, who decided to rebuild the band that was disbanded after the war. Immediately after the earthquake, the band continued to play, first in tents, then in hotels, until they finally got to the emergency shelters, the S.A.E., in which they could move. Today the band has a venue donated by ActionAid and Cisco. Children and young people find an important opportunity for socialization and growth in the activities of the band. The Banda Accumoli consists of about 25 members and is led by Maestro Vittorio Altavilla.
We will talk about the "Diamoci il La - Erano Giorni" initiative that brings together the Marche music band Parallelo 19 with the Andrea Grilli choir and Accumoli band to draw attention to the issues that characterize our times : to get out of the health crisis and to promote solidarity and care for the artistic and social heritage after the earthquake. A fundraiser has been started to support the band and the recording of a CD to celebrate the 40th birthday of the band.
The Radici Accumolesi Association will tell us about their planned book publication following a first edition aimed at archival research on the band, their concerts and the people who have written stories closely related to the city of Accumoli.

You will work with a scientific group to support regional development concepts. The work is based on an online software called Strategyfinder.
People with different perspectives and different possibilities will be brought together so that a common goal can be found.
Both lecturers have had good experiences with their working method and would be happy if they could support the relaunch process. The idea behind the strategy process will be described in detail in this conference.
In order to be able to work in a targeted manner, the presence of residents, members of the government and anyone interested with innovative ideas is required. That means people who are familiar with the different areas (politics, regional products, tourism, finance, architecture). The objective is to coordinate with everyone involved.

The Tradition of Terracing
A Cultural Heritage in Danger?
Date: Wednesday, March 24th, 2021, 6 p.m.
Agricultural terraces have a large geographical distribution on our planet. Their presence is influenced by climatic and geological factors. Although they primarily favor agricultural activities in otherwise inhospitable areas, they play a fundamental role in protecting the territory from hydrogeological risks and protecting biodiversity. At the same time, thanks to the dense network of paths that they frequently cross, they can offer a development opportunity for ecologically sustainable tourism linked to the improvement of the ecological, cultural and historical characteristics of the area.
Despite the recognized importance of the need to protect the terraced landscape, as evidenced by the recent addition of the dry stone construction technique to the list of the intangible heritage of mankind, the terraces are subject to progressive deterioration, mainly caused by neglect and poor maintenance.
The aim of this post is to illustrate the projects supported by the Aeolian Islands Preservation Fundation (AIPF) and carried out by Dotteolie di Lipari in collaboration with CNR-ISAC in the Aeolian Islands to restore the construction technology of dry stone walls by imparting knowledge to local professionals. The projects funded by the World Alliance for Terraced Landscapes (ITLA Italia A.P.S.) have also helped raise public awareness of the sensitive issue of protecting the terraced landscape in an area that is increasingly exposed to the effects of climate change.

Traditions Have Taste
Regionality-Responsibility-Biodiversity
Date: Wednesday, March 10th, 2021, 6 p.m.
The agricultural cooperative Agriarquata was founded on March 8, 2018 in Pescara del Tronto with the aim of promoting and improving typical mountain products. Our socio-economic challenge is to create a circular economy that supports small local farmers and is committed to the preservation of the typical rural landscape.
The Vino Pecorino project was born in 2015 in order to rediscover the cultivation techniques of the ancestors on “piede franco” (unrefined vines without rootstock), which were passed on from generation to generation.
In 2018 the project "Terra Divina" was born with the aim of popularizing and enhancing the production of wild fruits. Wild plants such as chestnuts, apples and wild fruits do not need plant protection. They are generally acclimatized and inherently resistant.
Our form of farming can be described as "resistance or heroic agriculture". For the much more labor-intensive cultivation of the cultivated areas and their lower productivity compared to the plain or hill region, the wealth of tastes and smells compensates.

The Feasible Reconstruction
Bivouac Zilioli at 2250 m Above Sea Level
Date: Wednesday, February 24th, 2021, 6 p.m.
……… "possible: what can be done, what is within the limits of an objective and even subjective ability".
It is the "it-can-be-done" that often urges us to embark on an adventure, accomplish an achievement, accept a challenge, go beyond the ordinary. Yes, I believe that reconstruction must necessarily have the character of the extraordinary, which is understood as overcoming everything that is not "usual" in a certain activity, such as building.
In the case of the Zilioli refuge, one could in a certain sense say that the extraordinary has been built at 2253 meters above sea level. The refuge can only be reached by foot via a path with 700 m difference in altitude in almost 2 hours and for these and many other reasons, this reconstruction can certainly be considered something extraordinary.
Even the destruction of a huge territory by the earthquake is something extraordinary, but then why insist on reconstruction, the management of which has nothing extraordinary ... planning, regularity of cities, misuse of buildings, opinions, building permits and what is the challenge? Where the business, where the courage to rebuild?

Urban Acupuncture and Cultural Networks
Territorial Cultural Networks and Archives to Secure the Memory of the Venice lagoon and Earthquake-Hit Villages
Date: Wednesday, February 17th, 2021, 6 p.m.
Some landscapes are as fragile and precious as they are at risk of implosion, such as the Venice lagoon and the earthquake-stricken villages of the Apennines. Enhancing them means starting bottom-up cultural processes, capable of regenerating communities in crisis and consequently their territories. We will describe these risks and present architectural projects and cultural strategies, both capable of triggering those virtuous processes. They are based on common strategies such as urban acupuncture and light infrastructures for the material heritage; archives and dissemination centers for the intangible heritage; territorial networks of slow and sustainable mobility for the whole territory; evolved models of participation for the local communities, as inspired by the Faro Convention, approved a few months ago by the Italian State.

MAKE IT DIGITAL - Digital and Automated Production of Emergency Shelters - Case study: Amandola
Date: Wednesday, February 10th, 2021, 6 p.m.
The digitization of construction processes is a constantly evolving phenomenon. Even in the most advanced forms, the use of "digital" in the context of housing emergencies has not yet been well researched. Some applications show internationally how digital technologies can advance processes of participation in crisis management. The lecture illustrates the partial results of an ongoing research carried out by the Scuola di Architettura e Design of the University of Camerino, which focuses on the application of advanced digital technologies for the creation of temporary artifacts and small infrastructures in the service of the earthquake victims of central Italy.

Mountains Between Earthquakes and Aftershocks ...
Date: Wednesday, January 27th, 2021, 6 p.m.
The mountains and villages in the Central Apennines are a treasure trove of history. In ancient times they were described as wild and inhospitable environments.
Boccaccio, defined a very distant place as "More over there than Abruzzo" and as late as the 18th century Anne Radcliffe described Abruzzo as an unknown land full of mysteries, to come to the present when Quasimodo still speaks of men after the Second World War who had an "iron and feudal past".
Instead, we would like to mention some of the voices from our countries that have seen many earthquakes, among other things. However, these voices are not voices of despair. They tell of strength and hope in a present worth living and a better future.
From the great earthquake in Avezzano in 1915 to the earthquake in 2016-2017 that destroyed Accumoli, Amatrice and all the neighboring towns, we will hear some of these voices, without forgetting that the countries and cities are not made entirely of bricks , but also consist of memories of their people.

OFF-REC Prefab building systems for off-site postearthquake reconstruction - Case study: Pescara del Tronto
Date: Wednesday, January 20th, 2021, 6 p.m.
The seminar deals with the topic of reconstruction after an earthquake, which is examined from the perspective of building systems and processes. Reconstruction is indeed a "process" that is closely related to the technological decisions that are made at its base. Not only the efficiency of the process depends on this, but also the quality of living, the environment and construction of the new settlements, as well as their compliance with the current and future needs of their users.
After a general outline of the problem, the seminar will illustrate ongoing research at the Scuola di Architettura e Design of the University of Camerino, which focuses on the design experiments of lightweight systems for "off-site" reconstruction in the context of Pescara del Tronto.

“Kastl-Greissler” - New Austrian Self-Service Store Concept with a Low Investment Threshold
Date: Wednesday, December 16th, 2020, 6 p.m.
The "Kastl-Greissler" presents a new Austrian concept of a self-service shop that is integrated into a converted container. Wherever the profitability threshold for a local supplier is not reached, the "Kastl" offers an alternative supply option with locally produced products and everyday wares.
This concept has proven itself in remote regions with weak supply structures. The "Kastl-Greissler" business model with its experiences, potentials and difficulties will be presented and discussed.

The Medieval Pilgrimage as a Contemporary Experience - Adrenaline-Proof Visual Culture Considerations
Date: Wednesday December 9th 2020 at 6 p.m.
Walking seems to be the simplest act in the world, inextricably linked with the human being. Walking is also a movement that humans today share with all the homines sapientes sapientes who preceded us. But does this activation of the body affect the perception of (medieval) art? Based on a 4.900 km “continuous experience”, this lecture aims to reflect on the role of the body in understanding (not only) medieval visual culture; with special attention to the art that was created for medieval pilgrims.

Module Week for Students of the Course Renovation and Revitalization
Accumoli - Renovation and Revitalization
Date 8.-13. Juni 2020
The module week will partake in a virtual visit and exploration of the city Accumoli and its surroundings in the current state by means of drone flights. The focus of the week is on the analysis of the main street in its presentation of then and now. In particular, it is about the exploration of select side streets and squares with the objective of making "paths in the landscape" visible, which invite one to linger and observe. The beauty of the city should be appreciated and emphasized due to its positioning in the surrounding nature and in the arrangement and orientation of its streets and squares. The objective is to compare and establish a relationship with other European cities destroyed by earthquakes and learn from the differences and similarities of the objects.

The Architecture of the Future
Lightweight Architecture made of Membranes and Wood
Date 15.–17. June 2020, 14-18:00
The seminar would like to counteract the consequences of the earthquake in Accumoli (I) and, in connection with the construction of temporary buildings, consider a construction method that is innovative, sustainable and ecological and that enables high architectural quality through transparency and lightness. Therefore, an example of such a building for the future should be created. The first step is this seminar. This event takes place as part of the Scuola di Ricostruzione di Accumoli.
