Italy will host the next G7 world leaders summit from 13 to 15 June in Borgo Egnazia, Valle d'Itria, in the Puglia region, one of the “most fascinating places in the world”.
The heads of state and government of the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the European Union will stay at a luxury resort in the south of the country led by Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni.
According to an official statement from the Italian G7 presidency, the leaders will be in “one of the most fascinating places in the world, surrounded by the hospitality of the Puglia region”.
“An icon of Italian excellence for its natural and artistic beauty, Puglia has historically played a role as a bridge between the East and West of the world”, he highlights.
The note also emphasizes that “over the centuries, this land has welcomed different peoples, cultures and religions that have left a rich heritage”.
In this way, “the historic role that the region has played in promoting dialogue makes it an ideal place to bring together G7 leaders, guest nations and international organizations to address key global issues.”
Located in the heart of the Mediterranean, Puglia is a magical collection of finds, history, art and untouched nature, between wonderful coastlines and postcard landscapes.
The region forms the easternmost part of the peninsula, has a long coastline facing the Ionian and Adriatic seas and is a flat territory, with large arid areas and terraces. Among the most famous destinations are Borgo Egnazia, Fasano, Gallipoli, Polignano a Mare, Monte Castle, Bari, Alberobello, Gargano, Taranto, Brindisi and Lecce.
With crystal clear waters, intense flavors and fascinating destinations, the region is full of history, traditions and artisanal knowledge passed down for centuries.
From fairytale mountain villages to miles of Mediterranean coastline dotted with blue flag beaches, environmental awards and facilities of all types and for all budgets.
Traditional bridge between the Greek world and the Middle East, the region's capital, Bari, experienced its “golden age” during medieval times. The mix of history and art that is the locality's trademark can also be found in many areas of the territory in southern Italy.
One of the highlights is Alberobello, a city known for being full of Trulli, iconic white houses with cone-shaped roofs that have been homes since prehistoric times.
The Valle d'Itria, which stretches between the provinces of Bari, Brindisi and Taranto and includes, in addition to Alberobello, the municipalities of Carovigno, Castellana Grotte, Ceglie Messapica, Cisternino, Fasano, Locorotondo, Martina Franca, Noci, Ostuni, Putignano , San Michele Salentino, San Vito dei Normanni and Villa Castelli, is also famous for its architecture and the vegetation that frames it.
