It all began in 1975: in Mili San Pietro, some young people from the parish who had already begun to share free time two years earlier, they settled in the “free youth association we protect nature”. From here in 1979 the affiliation to the youth tourist center, national secular aggregation born in 1949 (from a rib of the Catholic action with Carlo Carretto Primo President) with the aim of deepening, enhancing and promoting models of social, sustainable, supportive tourism. Half a century has passed since that day and in the Milo valley the associative reality, which today boasts 111 members, has made it from the road. To celebrate the special birthday, on the 46th World Tourism Day, the members of the CTG Lag organized a round table in the parish church of San Pietro that saw the participation of the national president Fabio Salandini with the deputy Ada Quartulli; With them the leaders of the local CTG Gaetano and Sebastiano Busà, who have retraced the long beautiful and enriching journey. Many battles won, the most important concerns the Norman Abbey Santa Maria di Mili, freed from the state of abandonment and degradation. Thanks to the numerous interventions of the Association to raise public awareness and competent institutions, also creating an associative coordination for the protection of the monument, three restoration interventions were carried out (Neò 1979, 2004 and the last currently underway); The church was also at the center of numerous initiatives that made it known and appreciated. The photos, the videos, the clippings of the Gazzetta del Sud and that ancient cyclostile in the exhibition set up by the young people of the center in the parish hall tell a time that seems to have stopped: among the memories those of Piero Chillè manager of the CTG Messina, who intervened together with the auxiliary bishop Cesare Di Pietro, the director of the diocesan pastoral of tourism and sport Don Francesco Broccio and the confrere, Liana Cannata. Salandini spoke of the CTG mission, “promote inclusive tourism, which nourishes and transforming the communities”, underlining the role of the parishes, “small but important tourist attractors with their load of history, art and socio -cultural commitment”. Michele Limosani, a unime and renowned economist professor, recalled the importance of promoting the tourism sector through the elaboration of a strategic relaunch plan capable of supporting the growth of accommodation facilities, involving the territories that insist on the main attractors (Taormina and the Ionian area, the Nebrodi area), encourage the reduction of costs, preserve the quality of the environment. In the evening in the Church Santa Maria under the Duomo with the crypt, ecumenical prayer led by the bishop of Peter with the participation of the representatives of the various religious confessions.
