Beatrice Citterio
Beatrice Citterio is an eco-social designer and researcher specializing in landscape and cultural heritage design. She investigates territorial changes and land management using diverse media, including geo-referenced mapping, fieldwork, photography, and archival research. Currently, she is studying territorial transformations leading up to the 2026 Winter Olympic Games through a multidisciplinary lens, with a focus on diachronic comparisons and the role of language. Her first major project, Precious Games: Observatory on the 2026 Milano-Cortina Winter Olympic Games, is a self-produced, tabloid-style fanzine examining the local and trans-regional dynamics of the Games.
Beatrice Citterio was a participant in the Nomadic School 2024.
Beatrice Citterio proposes a walk from Malga Valagola toward the Doss del Sabion ski area, in the heart of the Brenta Dolomites. In this area -deserted because it is off-season- Citterio leads a shared reading of two texts exploring the relationship between the Alps, the environment, and society.
Dragons of the Alps: Climate Change, the Anthropocene, and the Imagery of Ice by Elisabetta dall’O examines the cultural imagination surrounding Alpine glaciers: through myths, dragons, and ancestral fears, ice is understood as a living and destructive force, now reinterpreted in light of climate change and the Anthropocene.
How Tourism Changed the Economy of the Alpine Mountains by Andrea Leonardi traces the economic transformation of the Alps through tourism, from the nineteenth-century elite to mass tourism and winter sports, highlighting both economic benefits and profound environmental and social impacts, and ultimately questioning the real possibility of sustainable tourism.
The shared reflection also encompasses Citterio’s research on the 2026 Winter Olympic Games.
Beatrice Citterio’s workshop is in close dialogue with that of eco-social designer Kris Krois, which opens the third day of the Nomadic School 2025. In the evening, the mentors led a collective moment of final reflection.
