Utopiaggia
I-05010 Montegabbione (TR),
Italy
 We are an anarchic, humanitarian commune living as ecologically as possible with the land. The community started in Lower Bavaria in 1975 and moved to central Italy in 1982. Many of the founding members came out of the movement of the 1960s. There are 15 adults, three adolescents, and children living in three houses on 100 hectares of hilly land. A large flock of sheep provides the basis for commercial cheese production. We keep horses and poultry, and some of the activities we are engaged in are horticulture, colouring of textiles with natural colours, pottery, and other handicrafts. There are openings for new members. Visitors are always welcome but should write first.
