MESSY LAB CULTURAL ASSOCIATION:
​clay & UNSPOILED NATURE ​

Messy Lab is a Cultural Association born with the aim of supporting and enhancing the tradition of ceramics through courses, seminars and cultural trips. Presently Messy Lab carries out its activities mainly in the Italian region of Liguria and Piedmont. Last year, in particular, the association has been actively engaged in the recovery and restoration of a ceramic laboratory located in the extremely fascinating medieval Torri Superiore Ecovillage, where visitors receive comfortable lodging and deliciously cooked meals. The intent of the association is also to promote responsible tourism. SinceTorri Superiore Ecovillage is surrounded by nature, you can venture out for long walks among the olive trees and the foothills of the Ligurian mountains. Walking paths lead past the banks of the River Bevera, where you can dive and swim in absolute freedom in its beautiful natural water pools!  

​Not far from where the river meets the sea is the famous Balzi Rossi beach. When heading to nearby France you will come across the Hanbury Botanical Gardens, and as you cross the French border, you will be captivated by the charm of Mentone, Nice and Antibes, where famous artists such as Matisse , Picasso and Chagall lived and worked. In addition, not too far from Torri Superiore, there the are Italian villages  of Dolceacqua,  Apricale, Airole  and the ancient hamlet of  Ventimiglia,  all are still preserved with their authentic atmosphere and unique character.
