🎧 “Il filo delle Alpi” — The Thread of the Alps: a story of wool, transhumance, and cultural revival

We’re excited to share a recent feature by RSI Rete Uno’s “Voci del Grigioni Italiano” on AlpTextyles Cummunity Festival and the cultural and environmental threads connecting wool production, traditional Alpine practices, and circular textile innovation.

📍 Set in Valle Camonica, Italy, the episode highlights one of AlpTextyles’ core actions: a “cultural transhumance” that celebrates the movement of people, knowledge, and sheep across Alpine territories — recognized by UNESCO as Intangible Cultural Heritage since 2019.

🎙️ With voices from shepherds, craftspeople, and local communities, the episode tells a broader story: how natural fibres, heritage breeds, and collective memory can be part of a sustainable textile future for the Alpine region.

🔗 Tune in at this link and discover how wool is becoming a key material for Alpine circularity and innovation.
