Tourism, environment and social agriculture

It’s the most recent area (created in 2016) whose mission is to develop social tourism promoting excellence and innovation by creating new touristic products.

The area is developing 3 principal activities: design of new touristic products, training for our partners working in the touristic sector and supporting inclusion of disadvantaged people in the tourism industry.

The Environment and Social Agriculture area is in a start-up stage: we are working to create projects that can become a resource for our cooperatives and the local stakeholders, creating new sustainable business opportunities and new jobs.

We take care about the whole life cycle of products and services, the value of the supply chain and the integration of the different aspects about sustainability: economy, environment and people.

Projects

AGLIATE HOME and COMMUNITY

Agliate is a small village in Brianza area famous for the presence of one of the oldest medieval basilicas dedicated to Saints Peter and Paul, a place of religious pilgrimage and cultural tourism and known for historical events such as the Befana sul Lambro and the nativity scene. The village is located in the valley of the river Lambro and follows the course of the river until it gets lost in the woods of the Regional Park Valle del Lambro.

With our project Agliate Home&Community we want to enhance the village, its environmental and artistic wealth and trigger interventions of active citizenship.

The goal of AGLIATE HOME is quality tourist accommodation: we have renovated 5 studio apartments with care to enhance both the peculiarities of the place and the values of the social cooperation. One of the apartments has been assigned to a social custody that will take care of the reception of tourists.

The apartments are available on AIR BNB:

THE CULTURAL APARTMENT

THE SPORTY APARTMENT

THE NATURE APARTMENT

THE TRAVELLER APARTMENT

AGLIATE COMMUNITY is a multifunctional space for the community where different activities will be proposed and will be given space to initiatives of citizenship.

These are two different but interconnected structures, able to connect to the territory and the community, with the aim of achieving economic sustainability and local development.

CYCLING TOURISM

We promote cycling tourism in our territory as part of the initiatives of Regione Lombardia to develop tourism also outside the main cities.

First we have developed an offer of tourist services in Brianza along the Ciclovia that from Cascina Costa Alta, in the Park of Monza, goes up to the Oasi di Baggero (CO) and in a second project we have developed the route “THE CYCLOVIA OF THE GIANTS”.
