The National Extemporaneous Painting Competition takes place over three days in the month of August in the hamlet of Corfino and sees the participation of artists from all over the world trying their hand at painting a landscape of their choice from the Garfagnana. In addition to a jury of experts, the vote of the population and of those who enjoy watching the competition will decide the winner. During the awards ceremony Sunday, the Affective Citizenships – certificates of recognition awarded by agreement between the President of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines National Park (of which the Municipality of Villa Collemandina is part) and the Mayor – are awarded to personalities originating from the places of the Common, but residents elsewhere who have distinguished themselves and who have always maintained a strong connection with their lands of origin. It is an event of strong attraction for both locals and emigrants who return at this specific time of the year and repopulate the village for the summer season.
