The event of April 28 th 2009, an important date in the ancient roman calendar, that followed the cycles of the nature, wants to launch an universal message for the global village. 
A manifestation of sounds, art, ecology, archaeology, traditions and humanism, that not by chance coincides with the international manifestation The Return of the Ancestors proposed by ICA, The Institute for Cultural Awareness, USA: http://www.earthworksforhumanity.org/pages/Global_Gatherings.shtml#Linked

We propose the event :
Flora Emergenx
from prehistory to the romans and in the world

The participation is free

 - At 10:30 am gathering in the plaza of the funicular on the top of Mount Faito (by funicular, bus & walk) you can
          reach with an infinite view of 360° and breath the sorroundings below.
       - The medicine drum, called tympanum by ancient romans, of the Earth priestess will    
         guide us to tune our heart, respiration and thoughts towards earth.
       - The horn scrappers of the great mother Fortuna-Flora, representing the fertility, will be    
         played towards the gulf of Naples & Sorrento.
       - The ancient Egyptian tuners coming from prehistory will be activated.
       - The worldwide archetipal sacred sound tool, rotating, will connect to the sky.
       - A collective choral of frequencies will echo in the valley linking the humanity to the  
          Universe. (Virgilio)             
       - A 2-5 hours walk in the woods (with informations on the flora and fauna & the
         surroundings) be carried on in order to carry the energy from the top and the slopes of
         the mountain to all.


 
People will take home a small box with local seeds to be planted wisely and a bottle of therapeutic local spring water Acetosella praised since the times of Plinius the elder.
                                                                                                                                                                             
For this event we plan to produce a video for national & international diffusion to give value and importance to the patrimony of the local land and the traditions and wisdoms associated with it.
The researches, the financings and the patent laws (on the paternity of life) to recreate all the beings that exist in labs to be sold by multinationals, must be immediately changed for local safeguarding  and management of the own living patrimony.

FINALITY

To weave art, ecology, archaeology, traditions and humanism
                          
- Revaluation and application of the roman calendar 
- Diffusion of the image of Flora that comes from Castellammare di Stabia and not from Pompeii.  
- Origins of the universal word Flora to point out the vegetation as Fauna to point out the  animals. 
- An ecological message from the ancient world: Flora marks an event of vital importance, because    
   it testifies the deep inseparable bond between man and nature, for the revaluation of the  natural      
   patrimony, in antithesis to the actual laws for the substitution of the existing forms of life, with forms of  
   "life" created in laboratory and patent.

   the nature. 
- Appraise of the local resources and traditions and their aware management future as well as
