This project started out of the sudden in a small coffee shop in Foligno, Italy. We started it because discovering local events is surprisingly fragmented. Amazing festivals, concerts, village fairs, markets, races, and cultural events often exist only as scattered Facebook posts, Instagram stories, municipal pages or small local websites. Unless you already follow the right pages, you simply never discover them. Most existing platforms also try to keep users inside their own ecosystem. Organizers have to recreate events manually and platforms often “capture” the audience instead of sending traffic back to the original source. We wanted a different approach: a simple map where people can visually discover what’s happening nearby and then open the original event page directly. One important realization during development was that the project should not become “another events website.” That changed many product decisions: * the map became the main interface * event links became more important than copied event content * guest submissions became frictionless and free * we focused heavily on local/community events, not only major commercial ones We also discovered that regional localization matters a lot. The needs of someone exploring Umbria are different from someone searching globally, so the platform evolved into a multi-region architecture with localized domains and experiences. The project started as an experiment around local event discovery in Italy and gradually evolved into a broader platform that now runs on web, iOS and Android.
