About us

Oronero is a democratic, no-profit organisation for the cultural and social promotion of a peaceful, economic development and cultural exchange between different populations. People living in volcanic areas are at the very heart of the work. Oronero promotes the values, idiosyncrasies and environmental richness of the areas around both land and marine volcanoes. Beginning with Mount Vesuvius, Oronero promotes a meeting between different peoples and the myriad of possible relationships and symbiotic forms that have developed alongside the volcano over time. Working with the principles of dialogue, Oronero promotes voluntary educational initiatives, sustainable growth, exchange of positive practices, scientific and technological innovation, sustainable tourism, defence of basic rights and the promotion of peace, solidarity, the protection of the environment, landscape, cultural heritage, archeological sites and historical and artistic patrimony, biodiversity and the valorization of typical food and wine, personal safety and philosophical understanding and development.
