A call to the builders of a village with a heart
There are moments when a place calls you.
Not loudly. Not dramatically.
But steady. Clear. Like soil waiting for hands.
In the hills of Vidracco, near the wild beauty of Monte Pelati, we are shaping Villaggio del Cuore.
A village rooted in the heart.
A living laboratory for regenerative life.
Not an escape from the world.
A response to it.
We are building a community where arts and crafts are not hobbies but culture. Where permaculture is not a trend but daily practice.
Where personal healing is not the goal in itself, but a natural consequence of living in right relationship with land, work, and one another.
Here we breathe clean air. We work with our hands. We restore old buildings. We plant gardens that will feed both body and community. We create spaces for workshops, guest stays, and craftsmanship to flourish again.
This is not about floating above reality.
It is about getting our boots dirty and building something that lasts.
We are devoted to:
• Stewarding land instead of owning it
• Regenerative living in harmony with nature
• Permaculture gardens and food forests
• Arts and crafts as economic and cultural backbone
• Natural building and ecological renovation
• Living simply, consciously, and collaboratively
• Generating income through workshops, retreats, guest stays, and handcrafted goods
• Creating a financially transparent and structurally sound foundation
• Becoming a place where local culture and international vision meet
We are not trying to be separate from society.
We are trying to prototype a healthier version of it.
Who this village is for:
This calls to people who are ready to participate, not just observe.
If you long to experience living closer to the land
If you want to contribute skills instead of opinions.
If you feel that community is practice, not poetry
You might belong here.

Your contribution does not fund private luxury.
It builds shared foundations.
Structures held in stewardship for present and future generations.
There are many eco villages in the world.
We respect them deeply.
What makes this different is simple:
We are combining regenerative land care, craftsmanship, culture, and a grounded financial model inside an existing legal and community framework. Step by step. Transparent. Committed.
If something in you feels steady instead of excited
If it feels like responsibility rather than fantasy
If you sense this is work worth doing
Then perhaps this village is not just an idea to you.
Perhaps it is a place you are meant to help shape.
The future will not arrive politely.
We have to build it.
And we are.
Will you join us?
