AdriaMuse reconstructs the memory whose traces have been lost
AdriaMuse offers a possibility of starting a coastal eco-museum of the Pesaro surroundings, the type of museum widespread in that area. It aims to emphasize the specific qualities of those towns, their cultural, ambience and sociological-economic aspects. The intention is to connect it all with the tourist offer directed towards the valorization of material and intangible heritage, within and beyond museum walls. Naturally, the eco-museum is related to the specific qualities, the very substance of the community, including all interest groups from the cultural and tourist milieu. Within the AdriaMuse project, in the Province of Pesaro and Urbino, there will be a great number of possibilities to visit events that are not strictly related to culture, but are closer to tourism and tradition. There are several major programs within the AdriaMuse project that will promote culture, history, sea and maritime tradition offering new possibilities of perceiving the territory and reconstructing the memory whose traces have been lost. Especially interesting are the Mussel Feast, Feast of Stella Maris, Festa di Sant’Ermete, Festa del Porto, sailing regatta Pesaro – Rovinj – Pesaro, "Fish on Friday. One fish a month" and Brodetto Festival.
The Mussel Feast in the town Gabicce Mare brings back old traditions and promotes local potential; today this is revived by a new mussel farm in the coastal area. The tradition of blessing the sea is connected with the Feast of Stella Maris. It is a procession of boats covered with colorful fabric aimed at reviving traditional ceremonies and symbols, as well as promoting vessels and activities related to the sea.
Festa di Sant’Ermete is a festival connected with grapevine and wine. It is a Christian feast day connected to the oldest tradition of ritual events associated with Jupiter. The intention of such a ritual was to chase away late summer hailstorms, especially dangerous for grapes, and ensure successful navigation and maritime trade. The traditional and famed Festa del Porto in Pesaro is a specific port festival that was established to promote and strengthen the ties with the city and culture of the sea. The sailing regatta Pesaro – Rovinj – Pesaro celebrates its 28th edition, and is a continuation of the traditional event Route of trabakuli, traditional two-masted coasters (Rotta dei trabaccoli). "Fish on Friday. One fish a month", an initiative of the Maritime Museum in Pesaro, aims to present seasonal fish by organizing lectures and tasting. The Brodetto Festival in Fano, its 10th edition, strives to promote local, culinary tradition by presenting a wide variety of specialties and new possibilities in gastronomy.
