The Triplets maintenance September with events also to May and June. Sustainability, environment, landscape for a "slow tourism" post coronavirus.
On the way for September with two intermediate stages: 21 May and 26, 27, 28 June before the final at the end of September. The San Marino Green Festival 2020 has started. The organization discounted all the worries of the coronavirus and the infections in Emilia Romagna, but it did it. Like all events scheduled in this horrible 2020, the promoters have used a web platform to let us know that the 26 and 27 September we will meet in the small Republic to conclude the event conceived and directed by Gabriele Geminiani.
The first stage in May will involve four municipalities in the neighboring valleys: Monte Cerignone, Pennabilli, Sassocorvaro Auditore and Verucchio. What will be done? Each of these picturesque towns has an important theme associated with it.
Local administrators, Pro loco representatives, enthusiasts will discuss sustainable tourism, organic agriculture, territorial identity, widespread art. For a couple of hours they will be on the Zoom platform to define together the guidelines of an itinerary slow, for the "post-Covid" tourist. A still unknown subject, but certainly to be cultivated. And here, where tourism is a determining part of the economy, the relaxed traveler must continue to be attracted to him.
What will be discussed in the four municipalities are the central themes of the Festival which also offers itself as an observatory on the nearby Montefeltro. The two Secretaries of State of the Republic – the one for the Territory, Stefano Canti and the one for the Interior, Elena Tonnini – when they presented the event, they recognized the event above all as having a communicative function. In highly touristic areas but with ancient artistic and craft traditions, there is a need for correct, transparent information and for new sensitivities to grow. San Marino, Val Marecchia and its surroundings need to come together to understand - perhaps redirect - flows and presences towards environmental and production sustainability goals. Because we live on tourism, but not exclusively. On Mount Titan there is so much civil history and humanity, as Unesco decreed in 2008 recognizing San Marino as a World Heritage Site “one of the oldest republics in the world, the only surviving city-state, representing an important stage in the development of democratic models in Europe and throughout the world”. In the new location of Borgo Maggiore on 26, 27, 28 June there will be discussions on water consumption in the time of climate change, the protection of biodiversity, the fight against food waste and green tourism. Between fair trade markets, spaces for works of art and cinema, prizes will also be awarded to researchers and virtuous companies. A lucid mini circuit to convey interest in an area attached to the seaside Romagna, which Napoleon unsuccessfully attempted to aggregate.
Gabriele Geminiani insists on sustainable and cultural tourism:" The tourist will always seek di più space, nature, in to broaden your gaze" He says. “But also history, cultural identity, high quality products. All things that we can offer with both hands, together with enviable know-how”. His festival cultivates the idea of slow tourism. That comfortable wandering, in small groups in search of art, culture, comfortable homes that can reconcile the soul with the environment.
"Things that get lost have no desire to be found” wrote Tonino Guerra born in Sant'Arcangelo di Romagna. In times of distressing epidemics, climate emergencies, excessive leisure and virtual tours, San Marino does not want to lose any of its rich history. In a few days with the Festival he will begin to play his cards in a fascinating game. And obviously he wants to win
