Team Odissea
"Città del Vino" CHOSEN from the Ministry of the French Tourism in order to make part of the team in favour of the development of the wine-tourism in Europe.
The program starts from France and it’s finalized to the valorization of the territories nearest to touristic ports and to the animation of these same ports. The reason behind the program is the belief that the cultural histoy of both Fance and Europe is closely connected with marine history, and it's true also for Italy, a marine history that has left of many differents tangible signs: the culture, the patrimony, the agriculture. In this logic the French federation of the Tourist Ports has thought that the synergy of the harbour cities, the Mediterranean and the Atlantic with theirs lands answered perfectly to the new territorial programs of European cooperation.
"Città del vino" with its harbour cities and other Municipality near to tourist ports, represents the richest river in order to activate cultural and gastronomic routes to animate ports and push the tourists of the sea to appreciate the beauties of the nearest landscape.
