Traversing the origins
To walk along the same roads travelled by one's ancestors, feeling the warmth of the millenary stones beneath one's feet. Admiring the panoramas that filled their gazes. Exploring the villages that forged their identity and sense of belonging, following ancestral rhythms. Then stopping and feeling that deep connection with lands that not long ago were merely the setting for passionate tales and the backdrop of faded photographs. Savouring the pleasant wonder of feeling like an integral part of something bigger, a new piece in an ancient mosaic.
This is what root tourism means. It means taking fascinating routes, in which at every step you get closer to the essence of this land, to understand it in depth. And in every alley you can find traces of your own origins.
An exciting experience made of places. But also, of encounters. A journey that leads to meeting relatives, listening to experts in folklore. Dancing to ancient music, tasting traditional dishes with bold flavours, those that your ancestors once placed on their tables. Sharing customs that are both distant and fascinating, letting yourself be captivated by the authenticity of the locals. And weaving back together the threads of connections and relationships woven generations ago.
From these encounters emerge anecdotes, recipes, curiosities, valuable handicrafts. A heritage of knowledge and traditions, to be discovered by tuning into the relaxed rhythms of these parts.
Rediscovering one's origins allows us to understand who we are, transforming this discovery into an opportunity for personal growth and enrichment. A fascinating experience that also benefits the communities involved, without distorting their characteristics and peculiarities.
An emotional journey to establish and renew a lasting connection with one's roots. To learn and to know oneself.
