Etruscans 4.0 – Development Opportunities for Cultural Tourism – Piombino, 20 May

The Etruscans, an opportunity to develop cultural tourism in Tuscany and central Italy: this is the theme of the conference that will be held on Saturday May 20 in Piombino (Tuscany/Italy), inside the Archaeological Museum, and that it will see a rich program of interventions and speakers confronting the theme of valorisation of the territory and of the experiences in progress.
In the wake of the great interest and constant growth of which cultural tourism is the protagonist, becomes important to compare the experiences of the Lazio and Tuscany regions, two regions where Etruscan Civilization has left important traces both from the environmental and landscape point of view and cultural and archaeological heritage. A dialogue aimed at building synergies capable of implementing cultural tourism offerings through the valorisation of local peculiarities and the use of technological innovation, today more than ever indispensable for adequate competitiveness in international markets.
