Bricchi de mâ is territory. We talk about Tigullio, enclosed between Portofino and the Cinque Terre National Park, in the Ligurian East. Spread between the sea and the Apennines, its historical-cultural and environmental heritage makes it an open-air park museum, to be discovered in every season.
Bricchi de mâ is an eco-museum. Thanks to the maintenance, memories, knowledge and participation of scholars, experts and local communities, we collect narratives, photographic archives, educational material, trekking or cycling itineraries, responsible and outdoor tourism initiatives and experiences in a continuously updated catalogue.
Bricchi de mâ is digital. The web portal, the App for mobile devices and the booking system for local experiences are the tools we offer to explore a heritage, material and immaterial, which gives shape to an ancient and delicate landscape.
.
Tigullio is an area inhabited by active and enterprising people and groups. We love to tell stories, explore in company, do research, disseminate scientific studies, celebrate anniversaries. But also to inform, carry out maintenance, learn, have fun and create opportunities for exchange and immersion in the landscape. Here we promote the most interesting events and initiatives.

There are many ways to take care of your territory. With words, spoken and also listened to, with the arts and sciences, with the body and gestures. All this creates knowledge and knowledge produces awareness, respect, memory. Use the Bricchi de mâ showcase to promote your events and initiatives that are good for Tigullio!
Terraced slopes, centuries-old road networks, migratory histories, evidence of ancient mining activity, olive groves and vineyards, geosites of scientific interest are some of the features that characterize the Tigullio landscape, founded on an ancient and delicate balance between man and nature. Telling the story of this material and immaterial heritage, largely neglected by modernity, today represents our most precious resource for building community and encouraging forms of sustainable tourism.
Rural architecture, slate quarries, social rites and artisanal knowledge: from the evidence of local history to the memories of peasant life, the catalog preserves intangible material assets that over time tell of the practices, customs and techniques of a landscape in balance with nature.
From the birds of the Entella river to the geological outcrops that embellish the hinterland, from the Mediterranean flora to traditional vegetables, the collection offers a heritage generously offered by nature and stories of the delicate balance with man.
We are history, no one feels excluded! Leafing through the catalog that tells the story of the material and immaterial heritage of our territory, you may feel the lack of a place, a memory or a story that is significant to you.
