The Amerigo Vespucci, the jewel of the Italian Navy, has left Valpara\u00edso to continue its world tour begun in 2023 and ending in 2025. The world\u2019s most beautiful ship, considered a veritable \u201cfloating embassy\u201d, made a stop in Chile for the first time in its history, reaching a record number of more than 22,000 visitors over the five days it spent at the Molo de Abrigo.<\/p>\n
During its stay in the port city, cultural and promotional activities were organised by the Italian Embassy and the Italian Cultural Institute, starting with the inauguration of the exhibition \u201cSiamo Mare. Italia Paesaggio Costiero\u201d<\/em> (We are the Sea. Italy\u2019s Coastal Landscape), to be held at the National Maritime Museum in Valpara\u00edso until 31 May. This was followed by the Conference on Marine Biodiversity organised at the Pontificia Universidad Cat\u00f3lica in Valpara\u00edso, where 15 images by Italian photographers were exhibited as part of the exhibition \u201cSiamo mare. <\/em>La bellezza del mare, la biodiversit\u00e0 e la sostenibilit\u00e0 ambientale\u201d<\/em> (We are the Sea. The beauty of the sea, biodiversity and environmental sustainability). For the occasion, a concert of Italian opera music was organised in the historic setting of the Palacio Vergara Museum in Vi\u00f1a del Mar, designed by an Italian architect in the early 20th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n On 1 May, the presentation event of Italea, a programme that aims to help Italian descendants around the world reconnect with their ancestors\u2019 places of origin, was held at the Arturo Dell\u2019Oro Italian School in Vi\u00f1a del Mar. \u201c2024 is the year of the Italian roots in the world. With this event we want to remind the Italian community in Chile of the ambitious project \u2018Roots Tourism\u2019. Wherever Italians go, they bring their Italian culture, traditions, colours and flavours. By rediscovering our roots, we can make those colours more vivid and those flavours more intense,\u201d said the Ambassador of Italy to Chile Valeria Biagiotti in her opening speech.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Amerigo Vespucci, the jewel of the Italian Navy, has left Valpara\u00edso to continue its world tour begun in 2023 and ending in 2025.
