Ecovillage Torri Superiore Ecovillagio Torri Superiore

Torri Superiore is a small medieval village in Liguria, north-west Italy, restored by a community association and turned into an ecovillage and holiday centre for ecotourism, as well as training, information and cultural promotion in the field of environmental and social sustainability. The guiding principles of Torri Superiore are harmony and respect for people, nature and the environment through sustainability, cooperation, and solidarity. The activities at Torri Superiore are managed by three interrelated organisations: the Torri Superiore Cultural Association; the Ture Nirvane cooperative company Ltd.; and the resident community. Examples of their activities include permaculture and food self-sufficiency, solar thermal panels, photovoltaic systems, small water filtering plants, sustainable restoration of the built environment, recycling, and car sharing.
