The place we will camp during these days is in Venaus, a small town in Valsusa (Susa Valley), north west of Torino, near the alps.

The place hosting us during these days has played an important part in the struggle to save this valley from the devastating impact of high-speed train (TAV) works, that would have destroyed the mountains you are gonna see around you. This land has been used since a few years as a permanent space for the anti-Tav movement, and slowly a house has been built with a person living there permanently. We are happy and grateful to be hosted in such a fighting community, that managed to resist for years the aggressive forces of earth destruction.

You will find the campsite on the road going to Venaus, a few kms before arriving in the town.
