"Ach'adess"

Still today
Summer alpine pasture of transhumant bergamini in Val Taleggio

It is a documentary in the form of a short film that we made in collaboration with the Società Agricola Locatelli Guglielmo in the summer of 2020.
It represents the desire and ambition to document the practice of transhumance, still alive and current today, and to support and sustain the continuation of this tradition closely linked to the culture and territory of our valley.
Transhumance is the ascent of the herds from the plain to the mountain pastures in the summer months, so that the cows can enjoy fresh and valuable fodder.
It is a practice that is now almost completely out of use, that only a few families in Val Taleggio still practice, following an ancient ritual that has thousand-year-old origins.
It is a practice that we feel we should honor and document, so that people know that it still happens today, and to prevent it from becoming just a melancholic memory of a distant past.

Enjoy the show.
