Local initiatives launched in Minturno and Messina

In Minturno, the municipal administration has issued a public notice to develop a shared calendar of Christmas events for the 2026-2027 holiday season. Running from December 5, 2026, to January 6, 2027, the program aims to promote local tourism and community engagement. The call for interest is open to associations, cultural, sporting, and commercial operators, with non-profit organizations able to propose co-organization models with the municipality. Proposals will be evaluated based on tourism attraction, originality, social relevance, and the promotion of local products.

In Messina, a new initiative led by Nicola Maddocco and local council groups seeks to feature the city's brands, 'VisitMe' and 'Città di Antonello', on the jerseys of all local sports teams. The project aims to use sports as an ambassador for the city's identity. As part of the holiday season, the initiative includes a proposal for teams to create celebratory jerseys to be sold at online auctions.
