[ASTONISHING VENUE]


The 2009 [RELOADED] venue is simply stunning and all crossed by the Treja river. Monte

Gelato area is located between the two historical villages of Mazzano Romano and Calcata,

where the Treja river flows along its territory, creating small healthy swimming

waterfalls. With its lush greenery and old aged trees, this area is renowned for its

natural beauty. Easily located from Rome (45KM) and 5 KM's from the historic village of

Clacata, a middle-aged village built on volcanic cliffs that was overtaken by Italian

hippies and artists in the 60s who set about restoring the ancient town making it a truly

inspired visit. Add to this the fact the beautiful lakes Bracciano and Martignano at only

15 minutes driving and the coast of Rome is 30 minutes, means this year's [Reloaded]

festival is the perfect location for those looking to turn their festival experience into

a holiday.

[ATTRACTIONS]


Nocturnal performances as fire-works, acrobatics, visual shows, dancing, alternative

paintings, bio-installations, meetings and open-air cinema concerning the main festival

themes. Healing practices including massages and meditation, bio and healthy food,

international flea-market, involving eco-sustainability program. Wokrshops and talks come

from the likes of Ecoluce.org on the function and use of a photovoltaic sound-system,

Filippo Paolombini on biomass systems, Music from the plants by Renzo Allegri,

Eco-friendly life-styles by Carlo Brancati Powerstock Project, Sound therapy by Antonio

Testa and Djane Gaby, plus many more to still be confirmed - check the [RELOADED] website

[ECO-FRIENDLY PHOTOVOLTAIC SOUNDSYSTEM]


To power the sound that also fits with the festival ethos, [RELOADED] are proud to be

using the Photovoltaic soundsystem and led light system by Ecoluce.org, that will work

constantly at the highest level of sound pressure and quality only with the power of the

daylight. Using the Photovoltaic sound system means we won\'t consume any petrol and there

won\'t be any CO2 emission. A workshop on the project and on how it works will be held in

the cultural area.

[VISUAL CONTEST - WIN A EDIROL MIXER]


Within its cultural and artistic path, focused on highlighting environmental threats and

on feasible solutions to protect surrounding ecosystems, [RELOADED] wants to create a

network of visual artists and VJs, carefully selected in order to present a wide range of

visual performances alongside all the psychedelic, minimal-tech, dub and chill musical

programs. This VJ contest aims to award artists with the opportunity to show off to the

Reloaded crowd their technical and intuitive attitudes and now we can announce that the

lucky winner will receive a state of the art mixer from Edirol! Please see the Reloaded
