DISCOVERING ITALY 2024
I Borghi più Belli d’Italia promossi con Habitat World in Usa e Canada
Discovering Italy è un’iniziativa promossa da due associazioni: Habitat World e Borghi più Belli d’Italia. La missione del progetto è portare l’attenzione sui “Borghi più belli d’Italia” collegati ai siti UNESCO e alle Città d’Arte e Cultura. Il programma esplora l’anima autentica delle città, dei borghi e dei territori selezionati nel primo gruppo di regioni (CAMPANIA, UMBRIA, PUGLIA, ABRUZZO) e offre un’esperienza unica ai partecipanti circondandoli del calore di persone appassionate e impegnate a valorizzare le bellezze dell’Italia. Tutti i partecipanti saranno accolti dai Sindaci, incontreranno artisti locali che presenteranno le loro opere in vari campi, musica, pittura, teatro, letteratura, poesia, e potranno fare esperienze dirette e coinvolgenti per vivere le feste popolari che raccontano le tradizioni dei territori, conoscere le ricette locali, il patrimonio enogastronomico e l’artigianato tradizionale.
Il noto scrittore, poeta e autore Philip Butera è il testimonial/padrino ufficiale del progetto per promuovere il programma negli Stati Uniti e in Canada.
