Association Topolò/Topoluove
The Association is based in the village of Topolò, at the end of the road, in the border woods between Italy and Slovenia. It was founded in March 2000, in the path of the experience of Stazione di Topolò/Postaja Topolove, which it curated until 2022.
Today, the Association is transforming and renewing itself, welcoming new people, new residents of the village, a new board, and new projects.
MOST is the first experiment born from this transformation.
Brief History
The TopolòâTopoluove Association was established on 16/03/2000 and, since 2007, has been included in the List of cultural organizations recognized as being of regional interest (Regional Law 23/01/2007, No. 001, Art. 6, Paragraph 167).
From 1994 to 2022, the Associationâs main activity was the international project Stazione di Topolò | Postaja Topolove.
In 2005, the Municipality of Grimacco, in collaboration with the Association, designed and created Pot umetnosti | The Path of Art along the trail from Topolò to Passo Brieza, hosting site-specific art installations. It is also engaged in the enhancement of the historical terraced landscape.
In 2016, Topolò and Dordolla hosted the 3rd World Conference on Terraced Landscapes, organized by the University of Padua and IUAV University of Venice.
From 2021 to 2023, the Association carried out the project Živa Pot, aimed at reopening old trails and recovering ancient place names. The reopening of the paths was accompanied by live performances and concerts.
Over the years, the Association has also collaborated on cultural projects with other national and international organizations, including through European funding calls.
