Description

Among the initiatives of the EU project "Alpinet Gheep- rete alpina", within the framework of the Interreg IIIB Alpine Space programme, in addition to a travelling exhibition on nomadic pastoralism in the Alps, there is this publication that brings together splendid photographs by Christian Cristoforetti dedicated to pastoralism in Trentino: all with the involvement of public administrations, breeders' associations, research institutes in Italy, Austria, Bavaria, Slovenia and the coordination of the Autonomous Province of Trento. This book, in particular, is the result of extensive and passionate research into the life of shepherds in Trentino, documenting how sheep and goat farming still manages to be handed down from generation to generation: splendid pages in their simple, genuine and respectful beauty.
