Ecological Walk and Cultural Visit at Capo Colonna

Ecological Walk and Cultural Visit at Capo Colonna

On Sunday 19 April 2026, Capo Colonna hosted a morning event focused on environmental care and the appreciation of local archaeological and landscape heritage. The programme included an ecological walk on the headland followed by a guided tour of the Archaeological Museum and park areas.

Organization and purpose

The initiative was promoted by Italia Nostra together with local associations, aiming to combine practical conservation actions with cultural education. The goal was to raise awareness of the site's fragility and the need to preserve its traces for future generations.

Guides and participants

The visit was led by two experts who provided insights into the history and archaeological context of the promontory:

• Pino Nicoletti – archaeologist
• Colette Fischer – Gak board member

Participants included members and volunteers from local sections of Italia Nostra and environmental groups such as Plastic Free, Gak, Laudatosi and Orizzonti Puliti.

Why attend

The event provided a practical opportunity to care for the landscape and to deepen understanding of the historical traces in the Crotone area. Activities like this foster dialogue between local communities, associations and cultural operators and promote participatory conservation practices.

Acknowledgements

Teresa Liguori, President of Italia Nostra Crotone, expressed gratitude to all participants for their turnout and commitment to safeguarding the site.
