Bardolino Launches Community-Driven Bid for Capital of Culture Title

Bardolino’s mayor, Daniele Bertasi, announced the town’s bid to become the Capital of Culture, emphasizing a community-driven project aimed at strengthening local ties. The initiative focuses on enhancing public spaces and engaging residents, viewing the process as a shared journey rather than merely securing a title.

The proposal involves creating a participatory cultural route through squares, lakeside promenades, parks, alleys, and lesser-known areas, developed in collaboration with schools, associations, cultural operators, and local businesses. The municipality plans to document and share progress transparently, prioritizing interventions that leave a lasting, tangible legacy.
