L’Ecomuseo delle case di terra Villa Ficana: luogo di legami, narrazioni ed esperienze

The Ecomuseo delle case di terra Villa Ficana, located in the city of Macerata, is a place where memories of the past coexist with the vibrancy of the present. The village is rich in stories, personal histories, and traditions that reflect the character of a community that has experienced many transitions and continues to seek opportunities for participation, where active citizenship takes on diverse forms. The initiatives carried out represent a collective pact, through which the community commits to caring for its territory, fostering interest and interaction among cultures and generations. These groups live in and re-imagine the Ecomuseum’s spaces as relational and experiential environments. In this way, cultural and narrative heritage becomes intergenerational, beginning with the enhanced role of older people, who share stories from the past and open up pathways toward the co-creation of new interpretations and sustainable community development.
