LET'S HONOUR THE ALPINE ARC AND ITS PEOPLE
The White Nettle Onlus
Folklore
of the Alpine Arc
We belong to cultural and scientific foundations and associations.
Ortica Bianca Onlus was born with the desire to keep alive that set of traditions and knowledge that are typical of the people of the Alpine Arc and to stimulate a genuine exchange and a deep bond between individuals and communities of these valleys and mountains.
We care that neither the customs, nor the trades, nor the small daily memories of what was once the common life of free people and which today is increasingly rare, are forgotten.
We raise the necessary funds to support projects linked, in their most diverse forms, to the memories and cultures of these mountains.
We appreciate and seek the collaboration of both individuals and associations / any other reality that feels similar to our path.
Folk - lore / the knowledge of the people

OUR PROJECTS
The WhiteNettle Congregation
The Congrega dell' Ortica Bianca is a project born from the desire to support projects and activities that are emerging or have already been active for some time, which operate in the various sectors of art, craftsmanship, pastoralism, agriculture and catering, united by the common goal of honoring the Alpine arc, its history, its traditions and its folklore.
Steps towards a future that looks to the past. Follow the footsteps
The New Headquarters
We are looking for a new location, which will allow us to carry out all our initiatives, social activities, organize workshops and some of our events and where we can carry out laboratories for La Congrega dell' Ortica Bianca which we support with our commitment and your help by giving them the opportunity to exhibit their works, start sales on site and promote, in addition to their activity, the various aspects of Alpine folklore.
