Cities and Cathedrals

About Cities and Cathedrals Android App

The Cities and Cathedrals project aims at restoring the cathedrals in Piedmont and the Aosta Valley, as well as providing extraordinary maintenance of the same and enhancing their value.

The project was originally set up by Fondazione CRT and the diocese of Piedmont. With support by the local government (Regione Piemonte) and the Italian Ministry of Cultural Assets and Activities (Mibact), it has now become a value-enhancing programme for the entire ecclesiastical cultural heritage in the area.

The historical and sacred art sites are now open and arranged in geographical and thematic cultural itineraries accessible through this portal, which also provides description cards and useful suggestions to enjoy a visit to the various sites and works of art.

Volunteers are the major driving and supporting force behind the access to the various ecclesiastical cultural heritage sites. They keep them open and offer both visitors and pilgrims reception services and engaging explanations and historical accounts.
