Castelsantangelo sul Nera draws visitors for Archeoclub’s ‘Spring in

Castelsantangelo sul Nera hosts national 'Spring in the Villages' event

Castelsantangelo sul Nera took part in the national initiative "Spring in the Villages", aimed at promoting historic centers at risk of abandonment. Local guides from Archeoclub led visitors through the Castrum Sancti Angeli, highlighting its architectural and historical value.

The day combined cultural visits with technical updates on recovery efforts: participants learned about ongoing reconstruction plans and safety measures.

• Guided walks through the medieval center led by Archeoclub experts, focusing on heritage protection and architectural history.
• Institutional involvement: the municipal culture councillor Valentina Remigi announced approval of a project addressing hydrogeological instability—a key step for reconstruction.
• Visit to Madonna della Còna, a chapel at 1,496 metres: recovery designers, including architect Luca Maria Cristini and engineer Romualdo Mattioni, explained the planned interventions.

Visitor tips: check local schedules and guided-tour times if you plan to explore the village or join the uphill visit to the chapel. The event highlights how sustainable tourism and targeted recovery projects can support the revival of earthquake-affected villages.
