Marche Villages Renew Leadership and Launch 'Sibilla' Cycling Guide

Marche villages: leadership renewal and cycling initiative 'Sibilla'

At the regional assembly held in San Ginesio, the Marche chapter of the "Borghi più belli d'Italia" presented a strategic update: new leadership and a project to promote historic centers through sustainable cycling tourism.

• New presidency: leadership moves from Cristiana Nardi to Lorena Varani, who will also coordinate the regional chapter.
• Assembly attendees: National President Fiorello Primi and Deputy Minister to the Regional Government Presidency Silvia Luconi were present.
• The 'Sibilla' project: an avatar-style guide designed to accompany cycle tourists along the proposed regional cycle route.
• Project scope: an ambitious network of 5 itineraries connecting 33 Marche villages, envisioned as a "string of pearls" of cultural and scenic highlights.
• Symbolic recognition: 32 flags were handed over to acknowledge the participating villages' hospitality, beauty and collaborative efforts.

The initiative aims to boost slow tourism and cycle touring, enhancing access to historic centers and promoting themed routes among lesser-known villages. It combines cultural promotion with sustainable mobility, offering visitors digital tools and organized routes to discover local excellence.

Visitor notes: key features to follow are the cycle routes, the selected villages and the local events that will develop around the new cycleway. Keeping up with the regional Club's announcements is the best way to learn about event dates, detailed itineraries and hospitality services.
