Who We Are

A Cultural Bridge in the Heart of Abruzzo

Associazione IRIS was born from a small networking event in Cugnoli that grew into a vibrant cultural movement. Our goal is to connect local and international communities across Abruzzo, fostering understanding, creativity, and inclusion through art, education, and tourism. By creating shared spaces for dialogue and expression, IRIS strengthens the cultural and social fabric of this beautiful region.
