Emilio Sereni Landscape School
Istituto Alcide Cervi – Gattatico, Italy
Target group: adults, students, local authorities, and civil society organisations
The Emilio Sereni Landscape School is a multidisciplinary training programme dedicated to the study of landscapes, with a particular focus on the Italian agricultural landscape.
Through seminars, discussions, and field-based learning, participants explore how agricultural systems, land-use choices, and cultural traditions shape landscapes over time. The initiative promotes a vision of territorial development that places environmental sustainability, local identity, and landscape heritage at the centre of decision-making.
