"Italy is a dream that keeps returning for the rest of your life."
Anna Akhmatova (1889 - 1966)

  • Eliminate or reduce paper use

  • Create an on-line registration site with useful links to "green sources"

  • Use apps instead of printed programs

  • Inquire about your hotel's green rating

  • Create a 100 km dining experience

  • Only serve Italian wines

  • Use filtered tap water

  • If bottled water is required, use regional water such as San Pellegrino

  • Select "Made in Italy" gifts

  • Support local suppliers

  • Incorporate "walking tours" as part of the social activities

  • Select unique eco tours for your program

  • For events, use Italian entertainment and headliners
