Our long-term engagement with the Living Systems Lab (LSL) MonViso Institute in the Italian-French Piedmont Alps just got featured by the German-French television ARTE.
In Northwestern Italy, between Switzerland and France, Piedmont is famous for its picturesque villages, but also for its fine wines and exceptional gastronomy. This documentary features multiple chapters: In the Po Valley, the community of Ostana is an example for a real-world laboratory on rebuilding a mountain economy.
The MonViso Institute is one of the actors engaged in co-designing through research, design, teaching, entrepreneurial practice (from min. 18 on about). In the woods near Alba, Michele and his truffle dog go in search of the world’s most prized mushroom. To protect the region’s rich ecosystems, environmental initiatives flourish: while a group of divers plants artificial reefs to preserve the biodiversity of Lake Maggiore, forest ranger Raffaella Miravalle works to protect the mountains of Gran Paradiso National Park.
