Itineraries of Traditions

Tradition is the soul of a territory. It is culture in the general sense of the word, which has developed over the centuries and characterises and distinguishes a people.
Each territory has numerous traditions, some of which are linked to aspects of daily life, others to aspects of work and economics, others linked to religion and faith, and still more to moments of festivity and entertainment.

The common factor in the various forms of tradition is the inherent value in the meaning of the word: ‘tradition’ comes from the Latin tràdere, to transmit, to deliver.
It holds within it the meaning of "doing an ecomuseum", to know in order to transmit and deliver in the hands of the future.

Tradition in the Valmalenco is a beautiful mosaic of different expressions, both ancient and modern, and the Ecomuseum aims to preserve them.
