Now in its eighteenth edition, Mare e Miniere is a traveling festival that becomes a tool for rediscovering the linguistic, historical and cultural roots, useful for a healthier understanding of today’s world. Mare e Miniere is synonymous with social and cultural confrontation starting from one’s own strengths and peculiarities: for the growth of empathy and acceptance essential in our multi-ethnic society, for the enhancement of diversity as an added value of humanity and an imperative starting point in the construction of new economic wealth.
