Activities
In 2009, the Association contributed to the restoration of the roof and doors of the Church of San Lorenzo in Carro and, in 2010, designed and created a guide with itineraries, addresses and suggestions for exploring the territory and surroundings.
In 2011, on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the Paganini Music Festival of Carro, the Association commissioned photographer Franco Mapelli to document a journey in the footsteps of Paganini by Maria Perosino. The subsequent exhibition "Listening to the Landscape" was recognised by both the President of the Republic and the Office of the Senate and was held in Palazzo Taverna in Rome, CAMeC in La Spezia (Center of Modern and Contemporary Art) and the Auditorium Foyer of the Musei di Strada Nuova in Genoa.
The Association cooperates with the Pro Loco "Nicolo Paganini" to welcome tourists to Carro for the concerts which take place in the village and supports a shuttle bus service from La Spezia which allows audiences to travel to the locations of the concerts.
