What's on
in Atri, and when.
Concerts, exhibitions, talks, festivals, workshops: all in a single calendar, with the source of every event. For people looking for something to do, and for organisers who want to pick the date well.
How many events
overlap in Atri?
The feeling, for those who live and organise here, is: too many. But it is a feeling, not a number, and we do not have a number.
The problem is not the organisers: they are people who put time and passion in every week. The problem is how the date is chosen. Each one chooses alone, looking at their own needs, and as far as we know there is no place to see in advance what is already on. So overlaps are not anyone's fault: they are a consequence. They happen even with the best intentions, and on the other side the public has to look in many places to know what to do.
A consequence like that is not fixed by an appeal to goodwill: it is fixed by a place to look before deciding. And that place, to work, has to be a single one and valid for everyone, because two calendars are one more problem. It is enough for a few people to look at it to start avoiding the first overlaps. Agenda Atri is that: it regulates and channels the energy that is already there, without deciding for anyone. And if the data show that overlaps are few, we will say so.
Three numbers we do not have today. The agenda's first job is to produce them. In the mockup all the data are invented.
- MeasureGather the events in a single calendar and count the evenings with real overlaps (same time slot) and the empty ones. Only then does “too many” become a figure, or turn out not to be one.
- ShowBefore fixing the date, organisers see what is already on that day, in which venue and for which audience. An overlap is not always harmful: with different audiences it can work. The calendar helps tell them apart.
- ChannelThemed days agreed with the organisers (theatre on Wednesday, music on Thursday): the public knows where to go and energies do not step on each other's toes.
What are you
doing these days?
Pick a day. The example events run from 10 October to 14 November 2026; “today” is Saturday 10 October.
Every day
has its night.
Talks on Monday, cinema on Tuesday, theatre on Wednesday, music on Thursday: if every day has its theme, people in Atri already know where to go without looking up the programme. And organisers know where to fit in.
It is a proposal to agree with the organisers, not a rule: the days and themes below are an example. Each day honestly shows how many nights are scheduled and how many are still to be filled.
Six noticeboards
for one Saturday.
A poster in the café, a WhatsApp group, a Facebook page, the Municipality's website, the parish noticeboard, word of mouth. To know what's on you have to check them all.
Agenda Atri does not replace any of these channels: it lines everything up, with date, venue, source and status (confirmed, postponed, cancelled).
Choose the date
with the map
in front of you.
Before fixing the event you see what's already on that day, in which venue, for which audience. No phone calls, no surprises.
It is not a score for the date and it does not predict how many people will come: we have no attendance data and we do not invent any. It shows how much is already on offer.
Send the photo.
We fill in
the rest.
A photo of the poster is enough (for example to the Telegram bot). The system proposes the listing; if a detail is missing, it writes “to be confirmed” and does not make it up. A person checks before publication.
In the mockup the reading is simulated on an invented poster. In the real project an AI model would do it and a person would check every listing.
What the
agenda promises.
Simple rules, written before starting.
Got an event?
Send it in.
A poster or four lines are enough: title, date, venue, link. No cost. If the date is already crowded, we tell you first.
Submit an event →Telegram,
paper, open data.
The Monday round-up on the Telegram channel, a calendar you can subscribe to from your phone (iCal), a weekly poster to print for cafés, schools and offices, and downloadable data under an open licence. For now they are not part of the mockup.
Calendar
All the example events, by day. Filter, search, add to your own calendar.
Example events, invented. The “Add to calendar” button creates a real .ics file, but for an event that does not exist.
For organisers
Choose the date by looking at what's already on and which night suits your category.
Where do I put my event?
It shows how much is already on offer. It is not a score for the date nor a prediction of audience.

How it works
For people looking, and for people organising.
If you are looking for an event
- You browse the calendar by day, by month or by category.
- You filter by venue, free entry, weekend.
- You add the event to your own calendar with one tap.
- If it changes you see it: “postponed” and “cancelled” stay visible.
- Later: subscribing to the calendar from your phone and a Monday round-up on Telegram.
If you organise
- You submit the event with a form or a photo of the poster.
- Before choosing the date you see what's already on and the free days for your category.
- You can hold the date for 7 days while you get organised.
- If the event repeats you enter it once with the rule (“every Thursday”).
- Postponing or cancelling takes two taps.
Themed days
- Every day of the week has a theme (for example: theatre on Wednesday, music on Thursday).
- The themes are decided together by the organisers and reviewed every season: nobody imposes them.
- The calendar shows the nights that are scheduled and those still free, without filling them.
- An off-theme event is published all the same.
- Later: a night that stays uncovered for several weeks is flagged to the groups that could cover it.
The states of an event
| Confirmed | The organiser has confirmed date, time and venue. |
|---|---|
| Postponed | The date changes and is not yet known: the event stays in the list, without the “add to calendar” button. |
| Cancelled | The event is not taking place. It stays visible, struck through. |
| In preparation | Date held for 7 days by an organiser. Not yet an event. |
| To be confirmed | A detail is missing (for example the price). We do not guess it. |
What we do not publish
- Events without a date, venue or source.
- Personal data of private individuals, home addresses, recognisable photos of minors.
- Advertising and paid listings.
- Scores or rankings of events and organisers.
Who checks
Every new listing is read by a person before it appears. The project would need a small group of volunteer moderators, with a dedicated role.
Indicative times, as an example: check within 48 hours, updates within the day.
What we do not know
- Whether organisers would really use it: this is the biggest risk, bigger than the costs.
- Who would run it every week, and for how long.
- How many events there really are in a month in Atri: we have not counted them.
- How the public would behave: we have no attendance data.
- Whether organisers would accept a fixed day: many are limited by venues and volunteers.
- Whether a fixed theme helps the public or just makes things more predictable.

Have an event to submit?
In the real project: a form, or a photo of the poster to the Telegram bot.
Want to help?
We need people to check the listings every week: one per association or venue (library, Pro Loco, theatre) would be ideal.
