Mission Statement
Friends of Spannocchia seeks to encourage global dialogue about sustaining cultural landscapes for future generations through the example of the Tenuta di Spannocchia. Our areas of interest include natural resource conservation, local ecology, sustainable agriculture and forestry, cultural history including crafts and the fine arts, traditional land management practices and farm based education.
About This Cause
Friends of Spannocchia supports education and enrichment activities at Castello di Spannocchia, an educational center at an organic farm near Siena, Italy. Spannocchia promotes awareness, understanding and practice of sustainable resource use in rural communities to visiting foundation members who stay at the property during their travels in Italy. The farm emphasizes the importance of preservation and stewardship of architecture, landscape, forest, wildlife, and traditional agricultural methods, animals, and plants combined with the use of current technological advances in organic agriculture. Membership supports activities at Castello di Spannocchia including cultural and educational programs, a residential internship program focused on organic farming practices, conservation and preservation research, and promotion of global understanding of cultural heritage and sustainability.
