INSIGHTS
The Marina Militare Nastro Rosa Tour is an event that encompasses the various “sporting” souls of sailing. The event combines the charm of offshore regattas, held by the
fleet of ten Beneteau Figaro 3s along the lines connecting the various stage locations, to the dynamic competitiveness of the buoy trials, where the protagonists will be the specialists of the classes
Wingfoil and WASZP, latest generation single foiling one design.
The Tour, which bears the name of the Navy and which the Armed Forces actively supports
in the implementation stages, it is organized by Difesa Servizi SpA in collaboration with SSi Sports & Events, and with the support of ENIT – National Tourism Agency – and the Italian Sailing Federation.
In this 4th edition, in addition to the territories that host the stages, a significant role is reserved for the Lighthouses. Also this year the boats will sail along the routes marked by the presence of these highly evocative works whose enhancement has been conducted by Difesa Servizi SpA since 2015. Twelve fascinating buildings, immersed in highly evocative contexts included in the Valore Paese Italia – Lighthouses project, the plan for the enhancement of public real estate assets promoted by Difesa Servizi SpA and Agenzia del Demanio.
The valorization of lighthouses in a dual key represents a true rebirth of evocative places, once the heritage of a few but finally a collective heritage.
The Tour is positioned, in terms of level of interest, among the top three sailing competitions known in Italy.
The Giro dell’Italia a vela is an event that encompasses institutional, social, environmental, brand and sporting values and was created to promote the Valore Paese Italia project, of which it is an integral part. The 2024 edition will also be dedicated to technology, ecology and sustainable mobility and will be open to young people and non-professional sailors; it will involve institutions, partners, investors, and representatives of the world of tourism, communication and entrepreneurship together in a community that shares the same values.
