Last 28 November the Life Beyond Tourism Movement organized the event “From Textile Tradition to Urban Jungle: The evolution of the City of Prato with its Industrial District and New Internationalization Opportunities”. The open meeting was held at the Textile Museum of the city of Prato which is already a member of the Movement.
Th main cultural centre spoke for themselves: the participants in the event witnessed not only the talks on cultural heritage, but at the same time they were inside the historical centre of the city, which it developed through the great textile sector.
Through the focus on the Prato area, companies and the realities of the Prato area will have the opportunity to present themselves at the international level with a space that will be held as part of the International Building Peace Through Heritage event – World Forum to Change Through Dialogue the next 13 -15 March 2020 in Florence.
The event was attended by Corinna Del Bianco, an advisor of the Romualdo Del Bianco Foundation and scientific coordinator of the event, Valerio Barberis, Councilor for Urban Planning and Environment, Simone Mangani, Councilor for Culture and Citizenship and ARCO of the Prato Pin.
The meeting, attended by representatives of various Italian organizations, ended with an aperitif, during which the guests shared their impressions of the Seminar and the idea of development of Prato at an international level thanks to Life Beyond Tourism.
