More than 400 km of walking path, through 4 regions and 56 municipalities of Italy, for a month of walking to discover some of the most beautiful places of the entire peninsula. It is Beyond Tiber, an artistic and cultural itinerary to discover, tell and map, through a photographic documentation of the walk, unpublished places rich in history and nature crossed by the sovereign river of the Eternal City.
Oltre Tevere is designed by Sarah Carlet and Arianna Catania of PhotoTales – an organization that works in the promotion of culture and photographic practice – and is promoted by Kristin Jones, artist creator of the famous mural Triumph & Laments by William Kentridge on the banks of the river Tiber, under the patronage of the Central Apennine Basin Authority, ENIT and Legambiente, together with the Tiber Farfa Nature Reserve and the municipalities of Verghereto, Pieve di Santo Stefano, Sansepolcro, Marsciano, Civitella del Lago, Baschi and Alviano.

Protagonists of the walk are a group of professional photographers including Pietro Vertamy and Ilaria Di Biagio, very well known in the world of tourism “on the road” with the collective they founded under the name of Around The Walk, a wandering laboratory of artistic and cultural projects that combines different forms of art – from photography to illustration, from writing to music and performing arts – with the creation of new itineraries to be traveled exclusively on foot. With them, each for a specific part of the route, there will be the photographers Claudia Gori, Marco Zorzanello, Giuseppe Chiantera and Claudia Borgia.
Under the banner of slowness as a value, animated by the spirit of environmental protection and investigation of the landscape, the group will be assisted by Pietro Vertamy who will guide anyone who wants to join the walk – photographers, artists or travelers-strong experience of those who for years have traveled long distances on foot, in search of the sensations of this particular and ancient way of travel sensitizing to the mode of sweet enjoyment and local economies.
On the social science side, the protagonist will be Marco Saverio Loperfido, documentary filmmaker and visual sociologist, environmental hiking guide (AIGAE), known to have experimented – for the first time in Italy – the path as a device for recovery and reintegration, accompanying six prisoners at the end of their sentence, in a 900 km walk from Rome to Santa Maria di Leuca. A project that has become the TV docuserie, “Boez – Andiamo via”, aired last year in prime time on Rai 3. Loperfido, creator and curator of the project and site ammappalitalia.it, partner of Oltre Tevere, will guide the journey from Todi to Civitella del Lago on September 17.

Authors and artists involved will give back, each from his own personal point of view, a privileged look at the most evocative places encountered during the journey through a photographic documentation available on the Instagram channel and then on the Oltre Tevere website.
In the wake of their journey, a georeferenced mapping will be carried out, which will be made available online on the website oltretevere.it and ammappalitalia.it, partner of the project, in order to make the route accessible.
