 The project idea was born from Cantina Valpolicella Negrar and was realized with the contribution of the social purpose of the educational-social project La Scuola nel vigneto (III edition), which aims to promote interest and knowledge of tradition in the younger generations viticulture in Valpolicella with its historical and naturalistic aspects. It is an innovative map conceived according to the criteria of social design, or according to a participatory planning that involves the community to respond to its needs. Graphically created by Duemaninonbastano, the Milanese studio selected by Cantina Valpolicella Negrar, it made use of the contributions of the students of the E. Salgari Comprehensive Institute in Negrar di Valpolicella.
The aim is to make the inhabitants, tourists and occasional guests aware of the peculiarities of the Negrar valley, providing 3 routes that can be easily traveled on foot. In addition to the main points of interest in the historic center of the municipality of Negrar di Valpolicella, 3 different itineraries are illustrated that start from the Town Hall and touch the east and west sides of the valley. The itineraries were covered by the students with their teachers and volunteers from the Tourism Group of the Municipality and the descriptions of the map are inspired by the research that the students have carried out in the various school disciplines involved.
In addition to the simple description of the main points of interest, also represented in the form of pictograms, we wanted to focus attention on two issues that have always constituted the identity of the Negrar valley, one of the five municipalities of the Valpolicella Classica: the importance water testified by the presence of ancient wash houses and mills and the cultivation of vines and native vines such as Corvina, Corvinone and Rondinella, which characterize a wine production of excellence.
The map aims to accompany and guide (the texts indicate differences in height, distances, times and characteristics of the routes) but above all to make people understand the value and beauty of a territory through knowledge and participation.
