‘Transluoghi’ is a concept from Morigerati, a rural (mountain) municipality located in south-western Italy, which involves bringing together 15-20 local inhabitants with 35-45 ‘external’ participants for a 10-day creative residency. Together, they explore local needs and develop small joint projects to inspire and promote local rural development based on arts, culture, agriculture and tourism. External participants are mainly artists, creatives, researchers and architects. They are accompanied by around 20-25 members of a core organising team (staff+ tutors). Starting from the assessment of residents’ needs through the organisation of tours guided by the residents and design thinking laboratories, ‘Transluoghi’ engages participants in a series of cultural and artistic workshops to explore practical solutions to some of the most interesting challenges of the rural community and territory, such as raising village attractiveness, tackling depopulation, addressing lack of trust, promoting social cohesion, supporting local enterprises and creating a local brand identity and strategy. In its four editions so far, Transluoghi has produced some concrete effects in Morigerati and on its local business system, including the regeneration of public spaces with the installation of artworks co-produced by residents and participants, producing new equipment following the indications of business owners and reviving the local countryside festival. Film and documentaries produced in the framework of Transluoghi are used by public institutions and private actors as promotional materials for the village.

The solution concerns the installation of modern telemetry equipment and equipment for measuring and remote control of the quantity and quality of water supplied and equipment for active leak detection. The system includes a Central Control Station, accessible to the competent employees of the Municipality and which collects and processes data from 51 Local Control Stations. The Local Stations with a combination of sensors and measuring devices continuously record and send to the Central Station the following data, by using appropriate telecommunication technologies (e.g. mobile):

- Tank levels and supplies,
- Pressures and Pipeline Flows in pumping stations, network drilling,
- Quality characteristics of water in the supply tanks of the network,
- Electrical quantities of active elements (pumps),
- Operating modes of active components (ON-OFF, thermal failures, power outages, etc.) and
- Leak indications at specific points in the network.
