Tourism: a process for the recovery of the historic Rimini-San Marino train has begun
Minister Garavaglia: “It could totally finance itself”
Milan, 2 Sept. (askanews) – The process for the realization of the recovery and reconstruction project of the historic White Blue Train along the Rimini San Marino section has started. This was announced by the Minister of Tourism, Massimo Garavaglia, during the conference with the Secretary of State for Tourism, Federico Pedini Amati, in the presence of the President of the State Railways Foundation Luigi Francesco Cantamessa.
“We have started the process. The ministry has written to the FS Foundation to proceed, not only with the feasibility study, but with the drafting of the project from now on. From the first analyzes it is also financially manageable and could even fully finance itself. The ministry will support the initiative which will be a strong tourist attraction far beyond the borders ”, explained Garavaglia.
“Thanks to the direct intervention of the Italian Ministry of Tourism and the pragmatism and passion of Minister Garavaglia through the FS Foundation, we have given a concrete basis to a project that has always been talked about a lot but for which, apart from the Train Association Bianco Azzurro, no one has ever really committed. Today we are beyond the feasibility study, today we are moving towards the recovery of the first section of the White Blue Train, the one that connects the two UNESCO World Heritage Sites, Borgo Maggiore and San Marino Città ”, added Pedini Amati.
