The journey between flavors, culture and music of the project “The valleys of myth and music – the journey between harmonies and flavors of the territory”, promoted by the Gal Taormina Peloritani – lands of the myths and beauty, continues at a tight pace.
The evenings of 31 July in Itala, on 1 August in Monforte Marina and on August 2 in Ali confirmed the growing enthusiasm of citizens, tourists and visitors for an initiative that focuses on the identity of the territories through authentic experiences, including tastings, show cooking, shows and enhancement of local excellence.
“We welcomed this stage in our village with great pride” – said the mayor of Itala Antonio Laudini – “The valleys of myth and music is a project that can give voice to the small towns, creating synergies and relaunching our cultural and gastronomic heritage. The participation of the community was felt and warm ».
“In Monforte Marina we experienced an evening that has been able to combine taste, tradition and participation” – said the mayor of Monforte Antonio Pinizzotto – “I thank the Gal for giving us the opportunity to be protagonists of this journey that has a profound meaning: putting the territories on the net and promoting a different way of making community”.
“We are happy to have hosted such a significant stage in Ali” – underlined the mayor Natale Rao – “The event was able to involve everyone from children to the elderly, in an atmosphere of celebration and sharing. Traditions, flavors, music: elements that tell our history and strengthen our sense of belonging ».
Antonio Bonfiglio, president of the Gal Taormina Peloritani, wanted to thank the administrations and communities involved:
«We are experiencing an extraordinary path, where each stage becomes an opportunity for discovery and participation. The communities are welcoming us with enthusiasm, confirming the goodness of our vision: making a system, creating a network of territories that tell each other through their specificities. The next stages – on August 5th in Scaletta Zanclea, on August 6 in Roccalumera and on August 7 in Rome – will be new moments of sharing and enhancement of the material and immaterial heritage of our land “.
Satisfaction is expressed by the Piano del Gal Taormina Peloritani office: “The success and participation that we are finding stop after stop confirming the strength of a project that really puts the communities at the center-says the director Beatrice Briguglio-. The valleys of myth and music is an identity journey, but also a concrete opportunity for shared growth and sustainable development for our territory “.
The project involves 29 municipalities in the Ionian, Tirrenica and Peloritana area and offers in each appointment free events with show cooking, tastings, popular music shows, workshops and cultural moments, for an immersive journey through the excellence of the territory and in compliance with the principles of sustainability, identity and participation.
