‘Benvenuti in Puglia’ Award to Pierangelo Argentieri of Micexperience

The award was presented on Monday, April 13 to Pierangelo Argentieri, president of Micexperience Rete di Imprese, at Palazzo Verità Poeta in Verona during an off-site initiative linked to Vinitaly 2026.

• Reason: recognition for strengthening Puglia's identity as a land of culture and hospitality, and for enhancing its architectural and artistic heritage.
• Network approach: the award highlights the Puglia Walking Art Protocol, which brings together institutions, local authorities, museums and businesses to stage exhibitions and events in emblematic locations.
• Concrete outcomes: successful exhibitions cited include the Caravaggio cycle at the Castle of Mesagne and shows at the Castello Imperiali in Francavilla Fontana.

Argentieri noted that the Protocol turns institutional collaboration into tangible events that build a strong connection with the territory, supporting local cultural and tourism development.
