(English 👇🏼) La bellezza di Forci è la nostra guida, è la fonte di energia per la costruzione del nostro progetto rigenerativo per dare nuova vita a questa tenuta storica. È una bellezza che porta benessere, che accoglie, nei suoi colori e nelle intense emozioni che suscita.

Non è un caso che sia proprio qui, su questa collina, che ha trovato casa anche il Associazione Progetto Scipione progetto Scipione: un'iniziativa pilota dedicata a giovani adulti con autismo a basso funzionamento, volta a creare per loro un cerchio rigenerativo di benessere, apprendimento e connessione.

Chiara Gamberale in Per dieci minuti, ci dice: “Fare ogni giorno qualcosa che non abbiamo mai fatto in vita nostra.” Ieri, questi preziosi minuti si sono svolti qui a Forci, dove i ragazzi del progetto Scipione hanno potuto connettersi profondamente con la natura, grazie a una sessione di meditazione e respirazione guidata da Michiel Van Ogtrop, immersi nello splendore dell’estate di San Martino.

The beauty of Forci is our guide, our source of energy in building a regenerative project to bring new life to this historic estate. It’s a beauty that brings well-being, welcoming all who experience its colors and deep emotions that it inspires.

It’s not a coincidence that this hill is also home to the progetto Scipione: a pilot initiative dedicated to young adults with low-functioning autism, created to surround them with a regenerative circle of well-being, learning, and connection.

As Chiara Gamberale says in "Per Dieci Minuti": “Every day, do something that you never done before in your life.” Yesterday, these precious minutes took place here at Forci, where the young adults of the progetto Scipione have connected deeply with nature with a meditation and breathing session led by Michiel Van Ogtrop, surrounded by the splendor of San Martino’s summer warmth.
