A butterflies collection can be able to  promote ethical living and 3rd World support: the italian Antonio Festa is a young man with the passion of butterflies world since he was 4 years. He isn't a normal kind of collector that animal activists will detest:  with an autofinancial project, he buys butterflies from State of the Third World of Africa,Asia and South America in some breeding where species in surplus are present and saved. These organizations help biosphere to find a balance and with 1 or 2 dollars, Antonio can buys helps local communities to financial supports. So, it's become a microcredit financing project.

Now, Antonio Festa goes around his land, the Irpinia ( South Italy) organizing public expo and schools meeting for children improving an awareness campaign for environment, In addiction he sells also gadgets and bijoux about butterflies made by artists of the places where he buys the examples of them.

In this moment, Antonio Festa collects about 1.000 different kinds of butteflies - It's a work in progress just at the beginning - he tells me - butterflies in the world are present in 165.000 different tipologies but,however I possess at least one butterfly for each classification.
