«The return to normality that we all desire also passes through the re-appropriation of social life and participation in events and demonstrations – comments the councilor for economic development, tourism promotion and sport, Alina Sapinet -. Considering the period of deprivation, difficulties and uncertainties that citizens have had to face in the last year, and which they still face, the proposal of the municipal administration for the summer and autumn period intends to offer the community moments of leisure and fun, contributing to revive the tourism sector also for the benefit of the economic system of the city and of the entire region ».
“The summer cultural programming – adds the councilor for Culture, Samuele Tedesco – coherently combines the enhancement of the characteristic events of Aosta and the desire to propose culture everywhere, and not only in the city center, with the desire to experiment with further artistic proposals, bringing a bit of innovation in lesser-known places that are able to make the spectator live not only a show or an event but also an experience in the urban context ».
