13 May 2026 — The new premises of the Enoteca Italiana have been inaugurated at Siena's Fortezza medicea, with access from the former Campino di San Prospero and a direct link to the San Filippo bastion. Massimo Guasconi, president of the Chamber of Commerce, described the reopening as “a historic milestone for our territory” and a relaunch of a brand that represents local know‑how and culture.

• Location: Fortezza medicea, Siena (San Filippo bastion).
• Purpose: to promote wine culture and wine tourism through tastings, cultural events and activities for visitors.
• Stakeholders: Chamber of Commerce, project led by president D'Aquanno, and local unions — Gabriele Coppi, Fai Cisl secretary — stressing benefits for quality employment.
• Expected impact: promotion of local supply chains, enhancement of the tourist offer and a public venue for meetings and cultural initiatives.

Guasconi said the restoration of the bastion marks “the start of an ambitious project” that the Chamber will continue to support by fostering networks among producers, institutions and visitors. Gabriele Coppi noted that the reopening is “an important and positive development for Siena and the wider area”, with potential economic and job-creation effects.
