WHY ITALY?
The Italian peninsula extends from the Alps in the north to the central
Mediterranean Sea in the south and has 21 defined regions and 82 provinces.
This vast geographic diversity makes Italy a strategic territory economically,
politically and socially.
Wellness Communities Italia will invest in and work with local and national leadership to envision, develop and activate thriving and complete wellness communities and districts throughout the country.
This pursuit will involve innovating, improving and modernising local infrastructure and servicing. It also aims to catalyse the creation of new economies, whilst reinforcing and celebrating the authenticity, cultural heritage and history that makes each Italian village, city and region unique and special – whether in an urban, seaside or rural setting.
Building value, human connection and
wellbeing through the regeneration
and revitalisation of Italian villages, cities and regions.
Together, let’s create
wellness for humanity.
