COUNTRY
Italy
VALUE PROPOSITION

Using waste from marginalized areas and from traditional cultivations, we protect the local biodiversity, safeguard the cultural traditions tied to the specific areas’ cultivations, and support a fully circular product life, as the material is fully organic and can reused as fertilizer.

HISTORIES APP
TITLE
HISTORIES APP – La valorizzazione territoriale partecipata
COUNTRY
Italy
VALUE PROPOSITION
The aim is to transform the prototype SICILY HISTORIES into a model of sharing economy, throughout Italy, based on accessibility and participation in the construction of tourism and to increase the social impact by reinvesting part of the proceeds for the realization of cultural projects.
HERITAGE CIRCULARITY
The aim is to stimulate the participation of young people in the development of the territory (with a section reserved for schools). The construction “from below” of the itineraries by creators produces atypical itineraries, which can support the “de-centrification” of the heritage in the territory.
TEAM
The proposed app is an idea of Hi.Stories, an innovative start-up company created following the participation in the Culture Crea PON FESR 2014/2020 call for proposals in October 2016 – funding resolution April 2017. The team of members, at the date of presentation of the project, has remained unchanged and is enriched by external collaborations and partnership network built during the last year. The members are therefore: Riccardo Bonina, Angelo Mangano, Luna Meli, Luca Pappalardo and Giuseppe Sapienza and are in charge of administration, design and programming in frontend developer and 3D unity.
