L.A.CU.S.

WHO WE ARE

Our association was founded in 2001 thanks to the will of a group of researchers, teachers, professionals and cultural operators from Lake Garda, all driven by the desire to innovate and support, in a professional way, the preservation, enhancement and management of the cultural heritage of its territory . The function of Cultural Operator originates from the training course organized in 2001 by F.A.G. in collaboration with Regione Lombardia and Comunità del Garda, that aimed to form, through a deep knowledge of the territory, competent people able to organize, manage, and promote the cultural heritage. The name “LACu.S.” , acronym of Lago Ambiente Cultura e Storia (Lake Environment Culture and History), was chosen because of its brevity and because with a single word it expresses the idea of the many treasures that Lake Garda offers to its visitors.
The cultural operators deeply know lake Garda and the live with it; they are ambassadors of the life of Lake Garda, promote the cultural resources of the territory, suggest what to see, feel or taste; they develop synergies between various fields to enhance and protect the resources of Lake Garda area. This role is recognized since 2001 by the Regione Lombardia and by the Comunità del Garda and, since 2007, by the Provincia di Brescia.
