A first promotional event which will be followed by the second edition of the event entitled "We walk in Sardinia" which will take place on the island from 3 to 7 October 2023.
Miriam Giovenzana , director of "Terre di mezzo", and the photographer Riccardo Carnovalini , one of the greatest Italian "walkers", took part in the presentation of the "Sardinian paths" at the stand of the Sardinia Region set up in the exhibition spaces of the Milanese capital.
