The end of every story is the seed of a new beginning.
Dear users, partners, sponsors and supporters,
with gratitude we share the conclusion of the parchiaperti project. Driven by the desire to promote a cultural change oriented towards the digitalization and innovation of our protected areas and natural parks, from 2020 to today we have been united in a path of research and experimentation that has given us disappointments, frustrations and moments of pure joy.
Good, but not enough.
Among these, we remember the participation of over 70 locations throughout Italy (from Stelvio to the island of Pantelleria), more than 50,000 reservations for experiences in contact with nature, the promotion of the first flowering of Castelluccio di Norcia without cars, the Ecotourism Oscar 2022 by Legambiente, the ADI Design Index 2021 award, the nomination for the prestigious Compasso d’Oro 2022 award. Nonetheless, our path has clashed with the inability to guarantee structured and long-term economic sustainability. For this reason parchiaperti is concluded today.
If you look at it carefully, in every conclusion there is hidden the seed of a new beginning.
The experience gained with parchiaperti has taught us a lot and those lessons – some to be replicated, others to be avoided – will guide every step of our future which, today more than ever, is looking for new questions capable of orienting what we call progress towards peace, solidarity and ecology. Our heartfelt thanks go to you: you have made this journey spectacular and you have shown us that the desire for sustainable and environmentally friendly tourism is a real and powerful force.
Be the architect of the future to which you aspire!
For those who have dedicated four years to this adventure it is not easy, but we hope that you too can see, in this end, the beginning of something better to come. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being part of the history of parchiaperti.it. Together, let’s sow the future.
In this universe, Let’s keep in touch
