Unique culture

“I Borghi più belli d'Italia” is an association of small Italian towns of historical interest which we are delighted to be able to organise special tours to.

There are some amazing ‘gems’ to discover in this region for our school music tour groups. Our students will experience its unique culture, cuisine and warm hospitality, while performing in some enchanted places where time seems to have stood still.

Founded in March 2001

“I Borghi più belli d'Italia” was founded in March 2001 on the incentive of the tourism council of the Associazione Nazionale Comuni Italiani.

It’s aim was to preserve and maintain villages of quality heritage. The association holds festivals, exhibitions, fetes, conferences and concerts that highlight this cultural, historical, gastronomic and linguistic heritage, involving residents, schools, and local artists.

The association was inspired by its oldest French counterpart, Les Plus Beaux Villages de France, and is part of the international organisation Les Plus Beaux Villages de la Terre. Members must meet a number of prerequisites: both structural, such as the architectonic harmony of the urban fabric and the quality of its public and private building heritage; as well as generally, regarding the quality of life in the village in terms of activities and services for the people.
