POI BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Description of the POI	Predappio Alta is an historic borgo (little village) tucked into the rolling hills, home to a very small group of local inhabitants as well as local artists. Gherardo Chiadini and Franco Grota, very different in style and works, have their workshop and studio very close to the cosy main square and could open their home to visitors and tourists responding to the social concern generated by rural depopulation by proposing art to sow seeds of new life into this lonely land.

Type of tourist experience	A small community of artists could turn to life a sleeping countryside and, at the same time, mitigate one of the chronic ills of the 21st century: rural depopulation: arts could be used successfully as economic drivers for small communities, reinvigorating and “saving” towns. Visitors could have the opportunity to develop their creative potential through an artist’s studio visit or active participation in learning classes or craft workshops and arts workshops.
