Free Walking Tour Italia goes to I.TA.CA Festival in Reggio Emilia

On Saturday, September 29, Free Walking Tour Italia will be ivited by IT.A.CÀ – the traveling festival of responsible tourism – in Reggio Emilia. At the Labart space, we will join a public talk titled “Free Walking Tour: A Complementary Model of Tourism Development,” focusing on networking, accessibility, and local communities.

Following the discussion, Alberto Pioppi, a sociologist, will guide attendees and anyone interested in discovering the transforming city.
The walk, titled “Paths of the Past, Places of Today,” invites reflection on the duality between unchanging urban structure and the transformation of places. While urban shapes and ancient paths have largely remained intact, the same cannot be said for the places themselves, understood as spaces of social and identity-based interaction. With an attentive eye, this walk offers the chance to breathe in the past and interpret the present.

The aim is to promote ‘free’ forms of engagement with local communities and foster new narratives, through the involvement of local actors, towards a more responsible and conscious tourism. The event is open to all citizens, as well as tourism professionals, tour guides, and local institutions. We hope this marks the beginning of a shared journey with the city of Reggio Emilia.
