 The embankment of the Maggia River in Solduno is a magical and unique place: without expecting it, one finds oneself transported into a landscape of garrigue and Mediterranean scrub - only without the sea! This is a particularly protected area, highly exposed to the sun, with extremely poor soil (practically composed of sand and pebbles) and a microclimate marked by strong temperature differences between day and night, as well as significant fluctuations in moisture and water levels. In other words, one moves from extreme dryness to wet conditions.

Amid this wild environment stands the female rockrose (Cistus salviifolius), a striking botanical beauty with the intense fragrance typical of Mediterranean regions. Through a guided walk along the Maggia River, accompanied by a group of dancers and in an enchanting, almost untouched natural corner just a few steps from the town, participants will be swept away in a whirl of sensations: the prelude to a harmonious artistic creation inspired by the beauty of nature and the “spirit” of this special place.
