THE CALL

The call was launched by Fondazione Compagnia di San Paolo within its Mission Creating Attractiveness, and its goals are:

  1. enhancing the artistic and cultural heritage in Piedmont, Liguria and Aosta Valley in order to create opportunities for cultural, social and economic growth for the territories;
  2. promoting and increasing the value of territorial and thematic networks;
  3. promoting the sustainable development of the territories, particularly through the development of a kind of tourism that promotes local cultures while respecting the environment and the communities.

Phase 1 (March 2021 – September 2022)

The first phase requires the presentation of a multiannual valorisation plan, a cultural identity and a valorisation project for the territory with artistic and cultural initiatives in order to promote the chosen cultural identity.

Phase 2 ( fall 2022 – winter 2023)

The second phase requires the presentation of a second project that should develop and implement what was determined in the valorisation plan drafted during phase 1.
