Description

Grotte di Castro, in the Viterbo Tuscia, has maintained its authentic character until today, with respect to both the surrounding landscape and its Etruscan history and its productive activities closely linked to the agricultural territory. The small town, located in the crater of a volcano is part of the fairly developed cultural circuit of Lake Bolsena.

The strategy of this project, therefore, aims to improve its interconnection both physically and digitally on a local and international scale. Putting in a single network of enhancement the architectural assets relating to water, landscape routes, and Etruscan archaeological sites, opening this small village and connecting it with the wider tourism of Lake Bolsena and with the more international water and Etruscan tourism represents the first objective of the project.

To capture tourist interest, but also to educate in the enhancement of cultural heritage and of an eco-sustainable approach, the project promotes digital solutions with respect to the two most valuable cultural heritage assets of the area: water related artefacts and the Etruscans. Within this context the CNR ISPC proposal is developed by offering specific solutions that enhance the three necropolis and the cultural heritage linked to water.
