PRATO Here are the 50 Creative Curious Travellers 2016: our special guests who’ll spend some days in Prato (Tuscany, Italy) from 16th October to 16th December, to visit the new Centro per l’Arte Contemporanea Luigi Pecci, explore the city and find their story… to tell and share on our web guidezine!
In this guest LIST, below, there is a short introduction about everyone but – if you are curious – you can find out many beautiful things about the creativity of these writers, photographers, filmmakers, illustrators, artists from all around Italy and many parts of Europe (and not only!), just clicking on their websites or blogs and social media. Anyway, during these months, we’ll tell you more about them all… 😉
Welcome Home! & More…
In addition to our hospitality (at Elena‘s home) and free entrance to the Centro Pecci, all the #CCTravellers2016 will received some local gifts and little surprises we’ll show you soon… And thanks to our partner The GIRA they could drive a very special “Ape calessino” with WiFi to move and share everywhere their adventure, from the centre to the suburbs!

IMPORTANT! According to their passions and cultural interests, we’ll be super happy to put our special guests in touch with creative curious locals and cultural independent organizations. So, if you are based in Prato and would like to meet and create something together with one or more #CCTravellers2016, please contact the CCTeam [email: hello@cct-seecity.com | tel. +39 366 9777735]. Thank you!
NOTE! This is a totally independent project: we do not receive any funding from any public institution. As always, we just do what we love. And everything we manage to do is just thanks to the incredible passion of our ever expanding community. So, thank you, CCTzens!
About this experiment, Artribune magazine has written: “(…) the Call for Creative Curious Travellers means to stimulate this narrative flow through a co-storytelling project for the promotion of Creativity, Culture, Territory – in practice a quality and sustainable advertising service – to export and repeat in other cities and countries (…)”.
#CCTravellers2016, we are sure together with you we’ll create something beautiful and eternal! 🙂
246 submissions!
First of all, we are truly honored and thankful for every single submission, it was very difficult for us to make this selection: our CALL for Creative Curious Travellers 2016 has received 246 submissions from all around Europe (and not only), all interesting and passionate. Unfortunately, for technical limits, it was supposed to host maximum 40 people. We have tried to do our best to guarantee the widest diversity in storytelling formats, creativity and cultural backgrounds. And also we have tried to do our best to host as much people as possibile: in the end we’ll manage to welcome 50 #CCTravellers2016 from all around Italy and several European countries! We’ll try to keep in touch with all the candidates anyway and please note this: our community is always open. Thank you all from the bottom of our heart!
50 #CCTravellers2016!
This LIST is in ALPHABETICAL ORDER (considering the first name of the people who submitted the application for him/herself or for his/her own group of creative curious friends). If you are in the list, you can share the news and tell your (future-present-past) experience with the hashtags #CCTravellers2016 & #SeeCity. You can also tag @CCTseecity on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+: we’ll be super happy to re-post all the contents related to this project!
Note: in the following days, we’ll email you info and details about your stay in Prato and then we’ll get in touch again before your arrival. For any question or doubt, do not hesitate to contact the CCTeam.
(*) people with this symbol after their names – as agreed – will join the project without staying at Elena‘s home, as they can easily reach Prato and have an alternative place to spend one or more nights: this way we can offer our accommodation to other CCTravellers coming from further cities and countries.
(**) people with this symbol after their names – as agreed – will share the accommodation at Elena‘s home with other special guests: this way we can host at the same time more CCTravellers who have applied for just one person.
We can’t wait to welcome you all! See you soon in Prato 🙂
Love, CCTeam
