I Borghi più belli d'Italia[a] (Italian: [i ˈborɡi pju bˈbɛlli diˈtaːlja]) is a non-profit private association of small Italian towns of strong historical and artistic interest.[2] It was founded in March 2001 on the initiative of the Tourism Council of the National Association of Italian Municipalities, with the aim of preserving and maintaining villages of quality heritage.[3] Its motto is Il fascino dell'Italia nascosta ("The charm of hidden Italy").[4]

Participants in the group are small population centres which risk neglect and abandonment because they lie outside the main tourist circuits.[5] Initially they comprised about a hundred villages, but had increased to 361 in 2023.[1]

In 2012, the Italian association was one of the founding members of the international association The Most Beautiful Villages in the World, a private organization that brings together various territorial associations promoting small inhabited centres of particular historical and landscape interest.[6]

Admission criteria

The criteria for admission to the association are: integrity of the urban fabric, architectural harmony, livability of the village, artistic-historical quality of the public and private building heritage, services to the citizen as well as the payment of an annual membership fee.[7]

Initiatives

[edit]

The association organizes initiatives within the villages, such as festivals, exhibitions, fetes, conferences and concerts that highlight the cultural, historical, gastronomic and linguistic heritage, involving residents, schools, and local artists.[8] The club promotes numerous initiatives on the international market.[9][10][11][12][13][14] In 2016, the association signed a global agreement with ENIT,[15] to promote tourism in the most beautiful villages in the world.[16] In 2017, the club signed an agreement with Costa Cruises[17] for the enhancement of some villages, which are offered to cruise passengers arriving in Italian ports aboard the operator's ships.[18]
