The region faces significant challenges, including a large aging population, accessibility issues, and the lasting impact of COVID. In particular, residents of Villaggio Solidale, who are striving for autonomy and independence, often feel isolated from the broader community.

In collaboration with local residents, the researchers have started designing a trail system to link Villaggio Solidale with nearby municipalities. Through a series of workshops, participatory activities, and site visits, the team has been exploring innovative ways to ensure the trail is both accessible and inclusive for all.
