Jon Rahm rejects European tour compromise for LIV golfers. His Ryder Cup status now in question

Tourism workshop in Prague on Sardinia, 'island of wonders'

(ANSA) - ROMA, 17 FEB - In Prague, the fourth European tourism workshop, which ends today, was dedicated to the island of wonders, Sardinia, with a focus on Grazia Deledda. For two days, in collaboration with the Autonomous Region of Sardinia and with the support of the Italian Embassy in Prague, the Italian Cultural Institute, and the Italian-Czech Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the focus was on promoting tourism on the island. Twenty-five Sardinian operators participated in B2B sessions with around thirty industry representatives from Bulgaria, Denmark, Poland, the Czech Republic, Romania, and Sweden. The discussion focused on sustainable, multi-theme travel with new seasons. Particular attention was paid to the need to offer international users alternatives to mass tourism, through themed trips linked to wellness, sport, culture, food and wine, and popular traditions. This objective is also facilitated by direct connections between Prague and the airports of Cagliari and Olbia. Furthermore, on the centenary of Grazia Deledda's Nobel Prize, the European workshop combined the business aspect with a cultural event dedicated to the writer from Nuoro, the first and only Italian woman to have won the Swedish Academy's highest literary award, with a themed evening held in the Boccaccio theater of the Grand Hotel Bohemia, where Italian chef Riccardo Lucque presented food and wine delicacies inspired by Deledda's work. The event, opened by a greeting from Italian Ambassador Alessandro Gaudiano, featured a speech by Neria De Giovanni, essayist and literary critic, who spoke about the life and work of the author, of whom she is one of the world's leading experts. Among the tributes of the evening were the presentation of the Czech and English translations of Marianna Sirca's monologue from 'Donne di Grazia' (Women of Grace), a short theatrical tribute by the famous Czech actress Lenka Termerova, and the performance of several pieces for transverse flute by Elisa Ceravola, who also accompanied the screening of a silent film on Deledda's itineraries made available by the Società Umanitaria di Cagliari.
