Mangialonga was first introduced in 2000 by Mario Bigiarini, a visionary local who aimed to preserve and promote the unique culture of Badia Prataglia. Over the years, the event has become an immersive experience for travelers, allowing them to explore the local folklore, history, and traditions.
The walk itself is a celebration of the “Genius Loci,” the true essence of the town’s culture and way of life.
The Mangialonga route has evolved into an open-air museum that showcases the rich history and customs of the town’s inhabitants, who have lived in harmony with nature for centuries.
The event is a testament to the enduring legacy of Mario Bigiarini, who left a lasting impact on his beloved town.
