In the Cilento region, a new initiative presented in Rome focuses on experiential tourism and historical storytelling. The ‘Cilento History Tour’ aims to connect cultural and natural elements, integrating projects such as the recovery of Borgo Riccio, the Torchiara Story Festival, and the promotion of the Mediterranean Diet to foster authentic, slow tourism. Simultaneously, other regions are emphasizing viticulture and gastronomy. In Orta Nova, the ‘L’Arte della Vendemmia’ project seeks to revitalize winemaking traditions through workshops and the Festa del Capocanale.
