What is Grand Tour Italia

THE PROJECT: GRAND TOUR ITALY

In the heart of Italy there is a great passion that all Italians have in common: food.
A fundamental pillar of our culture, Italian food is renowned throughout the world for the richness of its flavours, the quality of its ingredients and the authenticity of its recipes.
But what makes Italian cuisine so unique is its incredible diversity, which varies from region to region . Each has its own culinary treasures to offer, the result of centuries of cultural influences and the biodiversity of different places.
Gran Tour Italia represents an itinerary of (re)discovery of Italy , a journey that celebrates its historical richness, its biodiversity and its thousand-year-old traditions through food.

An adventure through its wonders, where each arrival point reveals a unique destination.

From north to south, from east to west, each area of the park will welcome you with its characteristic atmosphere, letting each region tell its story for what it is, with its curiosities, its flavors and its customs.
