“As of today, the splendid Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, are the 55th Italian site inscribed in the UNESCO World Heritage list. The decision of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee recognises the universal value of a unique cultural and agricultural landscape resulting from an extraordinary and knowing interaction between an excellence-oriented production activity and the nature of a fascinating territory,” confirmed Foreign Minister Enzo Moavero Milanesi. The declaration was made today in Baku (Azerbaijan) at the 43rd Session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, with a unanimous vote by the 21 Committee Member States, thus confirming the high profile of the Italian candidacy. The result is proof of the leading position held by Italy within the UNESCO and the excellent teamwork carried out to promote Brand Italy, which saw the involvement of the Foreign Ministry, the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities, the Ministry of Agricultural, Food and Forestry and Tourism Policies, the Veneto Region and the Candidacy Promotion Committee.
