Life Blue Lakes
The main objectives of Life Blue Lakes, a Table of Contents
project which concluded in September of 2023 and was financed by the European Commission’s Life Programme, was to reduce the levels of microplastics in Italian and German lakes through an integrated approach that involved good governance, education and awareness raising. One of the project’s tools was the Lake Charter and the two countries had 6 pilot areas among them: Lake Costanza and Lake Chiemsee in Germany, and Lakes Trasimeno, Piediluco, Garda and Bracciano in Italy.

I Borghi più belli d’Italia
This initiative came about to raise awareness of one of the Italy’s greatest historical, cultural and environmental legacies: Italy’s many charming small towns and villages. Around Lake Trasimeno, Castiglione del Lago, Paciano, Panicale and Passignano sul Trasimeno have earned this prestigious denomination. And Corciano, not far away, has also earned recognition.
