It is the result of the sixth edition of the national program of the Fee - Foundation for Environmental Education, the organization that issues the Blue Flag recognition for coastal resorts worldwide.
The award is designed to guide rural municipalities to choose land management strategies in a virtuous path that is good for the environment and the quality of life.
A game played by the will of the municipal administration and by the participation of the community and businesses, especially agricultural ones.
