Knowing the planet is the first step to protect it.
Educational project
Next Generation
The challenges of climate change
We believe in the importance of spreading environmental awareness among the younger generations and in the communicative power of images.
For this reason, we have structured educational programmes with the contents of our projects, collaborating with science communicators and teachers at various educational levels.
Through cycles of lectures, lessons in schools, laboratories and workshops - also in live streaming - we work to transmit to the new generations the important values of environmental protection, the preservation of biodiversity and conscious and sustainable economic growth.
For the design of Next Generation activities, we rely on a Scientific Committee and the advice of creative people committed to environmental issues, who can convey to the new generations the soundness of scientific awareness through engaging and multidisciplinary forms. More information.
Photographic-scientific project
On the Trails of the Glaciers
In search of the past for a sustainable future
On the Trails of the Glaciers is a photographic-scientific project that combines photographic comparisons and scientific research in order to divulge the effects of climate change through the observation of glacier mass variations over the last 150 years.
Exhibition
Italian Routes
Mountains, Mountaineering, Climate Change.
A project of the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation realised in collaboration with the non-profit association Macromicro and curated by Fabiano Ventura.
The aim of the exhibition Italian Routes. Mountains, Mountaineering, Climate Change is to communicate to an international audience the great Italian tradition linked to mountain culture and mountaineering as a means of knowledge of the mountain territory, the values of which this environment is the bearer, the importance of environmental awareness in accessing natural habitats and the attention that Italy pays to the defence of ecosystems.

Earth's Memory
Glaciers, witnesses of the climate crisis
The Earth's Memory exhibition displays the overall results of the photographic-scientific project On the Trails of the Glaciers, which over the past 13 years has documented the effects of climate change on the Earth's most important mountain glaciers.
The images, presented in large format and at very high print quality, have been taken during six expeditions to glaciers in the Karakorum, Caucasus, Alaska, Andes, Himalayas and the Alps.
Thanks to a proven graphic concept and the synthesis of artistic experience and scientific research, the exhibition presents photographic comparisons with great visual impact combined with the dissemination of scientific data gathered by the researchers involved in the expeditions.
The contents are presented using the most modern techniques of interactive design and data visualisation: large screen projections, interactive video installations and immersive images lead the visitor into the profound and complex link between human species and nature.
Comparative images are presented side by side with landscape photographs taken by photographer Fabiano Ventura, the project's director, and backstage images recounting the team's research work. The exhibition is complemented by the projection of videos taken from the documentaries of the expeditions, collections of historical and modern photographic and mountaineering equipment, and collections of documents and maps of particular historical-scientific value.
