This choice goes in the direction of what is buon was undertaken last May, with the launch of the ‘Portofino Carbon Free’ project. Having low-impact solutions for water and road transport remains one of the objectives we are aiming for with the greatest interest “.
The regional councilor Giacomo Giampedrone was also present at the presentation of the new infrastructure: “It is an important step and the fact that Portofino does it – he stressed – is a good sign. We often talk about ecological transition but then we do not see the facts. Today a good signal arrives from Liguria “.
