The Belmondo project aims to bridge cultural divisions between old and new populations, architecture, and customs in Belmonte Calabro.
Over the years, the BelMondo project has gained increasing interest from Belmonte's residents, some of whom have informally collaborated by sharing their knowledge of the area. The project aims to bridge cultural divisions between old and new populations, architecture, and customs, and develop skills and industry between the temporary and local communities. Local carpenters, stakeholders, and suppliers work alongside students and young professionals on the construction site, while local convenience stores and the municipality provide support to this emerging community.
