Projects

Tourer.it is part of the "Cantiere estense" project, viz. a project that aims at promoting culturally and touristically the area where the Este family developed its Duchy between the 12th and the 19th century. The project is financed and coordinated by the Italian Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities in the context of the Plan known as "1 billion for Culture".

Main goal of the project is that of bringing attention to a region, comprised between Emilia Romagna and Garfagnana (in Tuscany), which was once under the Este rule and where many treasures can still be found: some already famous and some waiting to be 'discovered'. The interactive maps and links present in Tourer will help reveal the network of pathways which allow the discovery of these areas of cultural or naturalistic interest.

It is already possible to follow online the backstage and the work in progress of the all the ongoing restoration works. The dedicated webpage provides information on the latter and is being implemented with detailed descriptions of the architectonic or artistic heritage of the Este family.
