Park of the Nymphs and the Muses,
itineraries in the lands of Vallefoglia
itineraries in the lands of Vallefoglia
The Park of the Muses and the Nymphs is a project of territory reading,
a filter through which look at the landscape, trying to combine different looks,
starting from the traces left by the many characters and from the many events
of the lands of Vallefoglia, which create continuous references between a place
and the other. The project was born in a context such as the Province of Pesaro,
in which a series of convergences were produced from the '400 to the early '800
that launched this portion of the landscape towards broad cultural horizons.
Today this area, after a series of historical, cultural and economic events,
is fractionated and, from a cultural point of view, impoverished.

Thanks to a closer look we can still perceive the richness of the past.
The dominant theme that makes it possible to resonate the entire valley
of its ancient unity is that of the Muses and the Nymphs. We find them
in Pesaro, in Sant’Angelo in Lizzola, in Urbino. We find them in art, poetry,
and nature: the landscape and the water were identified as further themes
in which the Nymphs and Muses live and show themselves, allowing
a comparison with those who have observed the landscape and portrayed
it in past: Mingucci and Liverani. The project of revaluation of the territory
was born thanks to the work of the municipality of Vallefoglia and Almaloci.
