Partner
The Municipality of Turi
The Municipality of Turi is a partner of TuriBorgoAntico, a project created with the aim of enhancing the local area, promoting local culture and strengthening the sense of belonging and community, both among residents and visitors.
A collaboration based on a shared vision: to tell the story of Turi in an authentic, continuous and structured way, connecting traditions, events, historical heritage, local productions and cultural initiatives.
Through this shared path, the Municipality and TuriBorgoAntico work together to make the town increasingly vibrant, accessible and welcoming, capable of offering opportunities for connection, growth and participation. A commitment that goes beyond tourism promotion, aiming to reinforce local identity by supporting local realities, encouraging collaboration between institutions, associations and operators, and fostering a conscious and respectful way of experiencing the historic town.
TuriBorgoAntico thus becomes a shared tool for storytelling and enhancement, at the service of the community and of those who choose to discover Turi, helping to build a model of cultural and territorial development based on quality, continuity and participation.
