The Sixteenth edition of "Chantar l'Uvèrn: from Epiphany to Easter, fragments of Occitan, Franco-Provençal and French language and culture" continues unceasingly, a rich cultural review that involves 33 municipalities in the valleys of Susa, Chisone, Sangone, and Germanasca, organized by the Parcs Alpi Cozie and the Chambra d’Oc Association.

The Ministerial Decree of October 30, 2007, which made the fight against the processionary caterpillar mandatory, was repealed by the Ministerial Decree of December 6, 2021. Consequently, the management interventions for the issue are entrusted to the municipalities where risks to human and domestic animal health occur.

Quest’anno l’Ecomuseo Colombano Romean ha decorato la vetrina dell’Hotel Dieu con una collezione di vecchie lanterne che illumineranno la notti di dicembre e simbolicamente la notte più corta dell’anno, Santa Lucia, il 13 dicembre. Ha poi dato spazio a Dario e Rosalba Milesi che hanno realizzato la “crèche provençale” con le statuine della loro collazione privata.

On Saturday, December 3, 2024, an interesting report was broadcasted on Geo about the Orsiera Rocciavré Natural Park. The popular RAI program dedicated to the environment and its wonders narrated the story of a herb - thyme - and its multiple culinary and medicinal properties with its usual expertise, spiced up with spectacular shots inside the Protected Areas of the Cozie Alps.
