ViA(E) - Tourist proposals along the ancient Roman roads
How many of us are able to personalize our vermouth? Who knows you can go Gold Digging in Monferrato? Who knows the story of the Villa of the star-crossed Lovers of Lomello? Who among you has already done French water walking? These and another 100 tourist offerings are the basis of an important (and unique) work that has led to the creation of an ideal "tourist district" inside the Milan - Turin – Genoa/Savona triangle and beyond following a few months of discussion!

A HERITAGE TO BE TOLD
We fly over the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Viticultural Landscapes of Langhe-Roero and Monferrato, a region where the vine is the protagonist of a unique landscape.
We begin in the Langa of Barolo, home to one of the world's most famous wines. We continue and admire the majestic Grinzane Cavour Castle, a historical testament to this passion for viticulture. Then we head towards the Langa of Barbaresco, where the hills become gentler and the elegant and refined wine tells its story. Nizza Monferrato, with its lively historic center, introduces us to the world of Barbera, a versatile wine rich in tradition. Canelli, a historic town of underground cellars, is the beating heart of Asti Spumante, a sparkling and joyful wine. Finally, we reach the province of Alessandria with the Monferrato degli Infernot, a unique landscape characterized by these underground constructions, guardians of fine wines and historical memories.
Welcoming Cellars in the Province of Alessandria
Speaking of food and wine tourism the first reference and thought goes to typical products, local culinary or wine traditions, unique flavours of a city or a province, ancient agricultural rites dating back to our ancestors or innovative approaches of new entrepreneurial generations.
In all this, “tourism”, understood as professionalism and economic activity, is always in the second row, an aggregate that works as a backdrop to the goodness of our food and wine.

Daily Eurocity train from Zurich to Tortona with SBB
Thanks to the new railway tunnels, the obstacles posed by Alpine passes have been further reduced and communications between Italy and Switzerland have improved. The new EC "Giruno" connects Zurich to Tortona every day in 4 hours and 30 minutes: Tortona thus becomes a new, extremely convenient gateway to the entire Southern Piedmont region. The Slala Foundation, with its Circuito del territorio, proposes mobility coordinated with tourism offerings.
Microcosms
Rotary, through its project MICROCOSMI, deals with the widespread beauty of “minor” Italy. It is an app for Android and Apple smartphones developed by Rotary District 2032 (North Piedmont and Liguria) and “donated” to the public to help rediscover the sites in our Apennines which are now marginalised in terms of the main communication and commercial channels but rich in unspoilt nature, marked trails and a potentially highly attractive enogastronomic identity.
