Iole Piscolla, Journalist and Head of Promotion, Tourism and Events Città del Vino National Association, Valeria Lingua, University of Firenze


The seminar represents an important moment for the Città del Vino Association which, following the departure of its Director, Paolo Benvenuti, intends to pay homage to him not only with a commemorative meeting but with an operational seminar, in which to continue the work he has undertaken : bring the themes of the enhancement of wine-producing areas into territorial and urban planning and, for some years, also into practices. For this purpose, the seminar constitutes an advanced reflection on the work of updating the “Methodological lines to enhance quality wine-growing areas in the territorial and urban planning of rural areas”, whose application has reached a twenty-year milestone, to include the proposed themes and debated, also in the context of Urbanpromo, in recent years: the use of the wine landscape, accessibility from the architectural to the territorial scale, energy efficiency and renewable energy, the new forms of living in the countryside, food planning, integration between wine-producing areas and wide area policies. The contributions presented as part of the seminar represent the basis for updating the methodological lines, which today requires rethinking the relationship between wine and the plan with new perspectives, capable of enhancing multiple thematic interactions and the resulting good practices.
