Pax newsletter previews cultural tourism in Italy's colorful villages

The upcoming issue of Pax, the biweekly newsletter from Artribune dedicated to cultural tourism, launches on Friday, May 1. It features a map of Italy's colorful villages, explaining how bright colors aided sailors returning to coastal towns and how white facades served hygienic purposes. The newsletter also highlights Bolsena, a Tuscian town under 5,000 inhabitants, which recently opened a contemporary art space in Palazzo Cozza Caposavi. Other topics include barefooting as a form of conscious tourism, with insights from Andrea Bianchi, founder of Italy's first school dedicated to the practice. The Carosello section covers Berlin rewarding eco-conscious visitors, the Giragiramondo project integrating responsible tourism into schools, Naples' Biblioteca dei Girolamini, Budapest's Citadella reopening, and the Sussex forest celebrating Winnie the Pooh's 100th anniversary. Pax is curated by Livia Montagnoli and Luisa Taliento and is free to subscribe via Artribune's form.
