Our administration has decided to revive the successful event of 2019, transforming it into an attraction not only for Latina, but for the entire province. Tourism, in fact, has completely changed its face over the last few years and food and wine has become a significant attraction for travellers. There are different citieswho have adapted to this trend rethinking its strategies for promoting the territory, creating routes and itineraries of taste, creating food festivals that act as a link between enthusiasts and producers. Combining food and wine with art and tourism is certainly a winning formula and our province, as well as all of Lazio, it is rich in typical products and gastronomic traditions. Protecting and promoting these products is certainly one of the tasks of every local administration from an agricultural, industrial, commercial and tourism point of view”.
