Giuseppe Ruzzu (Castelsardo) joins the national board of The Most Beautiful Villages in Italy

Giuseppe Ruzzu, the Tourism councillor of Castelsardo, was elected as Sardinia’s regional representative to the national board of the association The Most Beautiful Villages in Italy. The regional assembly voted unanimously for his five-year mandate; the appointment will be ratified at the national assembly in Trevi on May 30.

• Sardinian delegates involved: representatives from Atzara, Bosa, Carloforte, Castelsardo, La Maddalena, Posada, Sadali and Tempio Pausania.
• Confirmed regional roles: Franco Cuccureddu reconfirmed as regional coordinator; Alfonso Marras (mayor of Bosa) and Stefano Rombi (mayor of Carloforte) remain in key regional positions, with vice-coordinators also confirmed.
• Appointment status: the designation is binding and awaits formal ratification at the national meeting.
• Next steps: the regional coordination will be re-elected after municipal administrations are renewed in several towns (Atzara, La Maddalena, Sadali, Posada, Tempio Pausania).

Why this matters: having a Sardinian representative on the national board increases visibility for the island’s villages in national promotion campaigns and supports the development of experiential offers linked to historic centers, local crafts and typical food products.

Practical impact: expect greater coordination on promotional projects, networked initiatives among Sardinian villages and targeted actions to attract visitors seeking authentic cultural, artisanal and gastronomic experiences.
