Promotion of Italian cultural identity and heritage

Overview

Efforts to promote Italian cultural identity and heritage have been highlighted through new literary works and media initiatives. Director and Rai presenter Edoardo Sylos Labini introduced his book, ‘Le Città Identitarie’, which focuses on preserving the historical memory and traditions of Italy’s smaller municipalities against globalization.

In support of these themes, a new Rai-powered television channel, ‘Italiana’, was scheduled to launch on October 1, 2026, to showcase Italy’s landscapes, culinary traditions, and historical figures.

Furthering this cultural focus, Rai Libri released publications including Sylos Labini’s work and Emilio Casalini’s ‘L’Italia più bella’. Casalini’s book examines urban and social regeneration, highlighting how visionary projects in various towns have transformed local heritage into destinations for conscious tourism.
