A political dispute arose in Castelvetro regarding the seasonal closure of the local tourist office during August. Councilor Bruno Rinaldi criticized the decision, arguing that the office should act as a “functional gateway for visitors” rather than relying solely on a digital presence during peak travel months. Mayor Federico Poppi defended the closure.

Following this dispute, the municipality is scheduled to participate in the eighteenth edition of the national responsible tourism festival, ‘IT. A. CÀ – Migranti e Viaggiatori’, on August 22 and 23. The festival will feature events at the Castello di Levizzano Rangone and surrounding areas, focusing on landscape, culture, and slow tourism through activities such as guided walks, museum tours, and exhibitions.
