Itinerari del patrimonio vivente - Routes of living heritage

The "New Territory to Discover" Integrated Plan aims to promote a sustainable tourism strategy based on economic exploitation of the high quality natural and cultural heritage, shared by the Franco-Italian border territories.

Within this context, the specific project "Routes of living heritage" aims to foster the discovery of the most beautiful villages in the areas covered by the project (i.e. the Alps of Haute Provence on the French side, and the border areas of the Province of Cuneo, the Stura Valley and Roero region), creating a network and developing a coordinated program of local promotion and cultural heritage conservation.

OBJECTIVES

To improve the accessibility of cultural tourism in the cross-border area;

To promote access to information, dissemination and transfer of methodologies and best practices on the restoration of cultural heritage

To strengthen the identity of local communities through the knowledge of the common cultural heritage on the territory

To stimulate the recovery of traditional economic activities, and at the same time to create employment opportunities, particularly for young people, within the restoration of cultural heritage sector.
