A letter of purpose , to share a project for the development of the landscape  and the community , who lives around Martani mountains, the “Carta dello Scoppio” , was signed from the municipalities of a territory around the province of Terni and Perugia on July 17, 2021.

The “Carta”, an informal text, but with a big symbolic worth, with which the municipality of Acquasparta, inside the contest of the project “InNaturalibus”, realized with the collaboration and the help of the Umbria Region – Department of Tourism, and in continuity with Le Terre dei Borghi Verdu, wanted to stimulate a process of sharing which include  as much interested people , both public and private.

The hiking lodge of the Scoppio, just outside of the village, is now abandoned,but we hope that soon the administration of the municipality of Acquasparta, through this project, can give to us the surprise to reopen to the hikers and to the visitors this beauty of Le Terre dei Borghi Verdi.
