As a non-profit organization dedicated to contributing to the sustainable development of rural areas of Italy, we are thrilled to announce our exciting new partnership with the Municipality of Castel San Pietro Romano, the Lead Partner, as well as the Municipalities of Capranica Prenestina and Rocca di Cave. Together, Liminal and the Municipalities will spearhead a regeneration project called "I Borghi Maestri dei Monti Prenestini–Isole di Rigenerazione," funded by the European Union's NextGenerationEU program.

This ambitious project is part of Italy's National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) and focuses on digitization, innovation, competitiveness and culture. As part of the partnership, Liminal will launch two exciting initiatives: "Liminal Lab Monti Prenestini" and "Digital Paths per i Monti Prenestini”.
The Liminal Lab Monti Prenestini initiative is a high-intensity fieldwork experience that documents, analyzes and proposes solutions for the sustainable development of small communities. Students from national and international networks will travel to the Monti Prenestini and work for six weeks there, collaborating with the locals to visualize a unified identity for the territory. This initiative will create moments of cultural exchange and social innovation that would otherwise be impossible to achieve.
Meanwhile, the "Digital Paths per i Monti Prenestini" initiative aims to give a digital life and presence to the roads and paths of the municipalities. By conducting both technical and educational activities in synergy, Liminal will create a true knowledge-sharing space, where technical tools will become civic knowledge for local communities.
"We are thrilled to be part of this project and the opportunity to contribute to the redevelopment of rural Italian territories," said Ginevra D’Agostino, Co-Founder and President of Liminal. The partnership with the Municipalities of the Monti Prenestini is a significant milestone in the organization's commitment to promoting social innovation and cultural regeneration in Italy's small historic towns and rural areas. Through the power of digital technology and an innovative fieldwork methodology, Liminal is confident that the project will create a positive socio-economic impact that will benefit local communities and the wider region.
