THE HISTORY
On September 5, 2014, together with other Calabrian realities, we organized a great event at the legendary FARM CULTURAL PARK in Sicily. The idea was to bring together the best of the Calabrian cultural scene to bring it to Sicily, creating a unique event.
La Guarimba brought screenings of short films, a mural by Sara Fratini, the illustration workshop for children “Make the monkey” by Sara Fratini, the meeting “Cultural innovation in Calabria” by Giulio Vita and the photographic story of the evening. In addition, our sponsors Fichi Marano and Casa Comerci joined the event.
In 2015, with the same spirit, we organized “La Piccola” at the ExConvento dei Cappuccini in Belmonte Calabro.
