WHO WE
ARE
Sea Essence International
Festival is the first international festival
dedicated to the preservation and appreciation of the sea and
its essence.
A preservation and appreciation to be intended as protection of
the sea's environment, of its biodiversity and its species, but
also of its beauty, its history and its contribution to the growth
of cultures and societies. In essence, a preservation and
appreciation of what it means for us to be human
beings.
OUR
MISSION
Our mission is to make people love the sea, because it is only
through a true and authentic passion like love that every
objective, even those that appear to be unachievable, becomes
possible.
OUR
VISION
Our vision is to return to the sea its deservedly central role, starting from renewed efforts in economics, politics and society as a whole, all aiming towards this purpose.
For this reason, we thought of an event ranging from reason to emotion, which at same time is intended to make people think and dream about the sea.
An eclectic event, meant to discover the deepness of the essence
of the sea whilst keeping a central focus on the human being, its
dreams, virtues and aspirations. Narrated with the voice of
history, economics, arts, anthropology, culture, politics, music,
cinema and society as a whole, with such a inclusive approach as to
welcome all the souls of the sea.
EVENT
ORGANIZATION
The event is organised by
Acqua dell'Elba with the backing of
Legambiente, Regione Toscana
(Regional Administration of Tuscany), the Parco Nazionale
Arcipelago Toscano (Tuscan Archipelago National Park),
IULM University and the Accademia di Belle
Arti di Brera (Brera art academy in Milan).
The gathering will take place in Marciana Marina, and ancient
coastal hamlet on Isola d'Elba at the center of the Thyrrenian sea,
certainly a privileged vantage point to ponder the sea and its
related themes.
