20 years after the creation of this forward-looking project, the first Wellness Valley Workshop post pandemic was held last week.
Over 250 stakeholders attended the presentation of the Wellness Valley Report: The Wellness Valley remains a benchmark in relation to adopting healthy lifestyles and improving life quality at a time when health is increasingly a major issue.
Speakers at the workshop included Wellness Foundation President Nerio Alessandri, Minister for Sport and Youth Andrea Abodi, President of the Emilia-Romagna Region Stefano Bonaccini and University of Bologna Rector Giovanni Molari.
Among the guests seated in the stalls, Andrea Dovizioso.
During the workshop, Emilia-Romagna President Stefano Bonaccini highlighted the importance of the Wellness Valley project in boosting the value of sport also as an element of tourism promotion: “We can win in the marketplace by investing in wellness and make a difference by systemizing all the elements of our region’s culture: the hospitality, the quality of services, good food, sports and exercise that are not only good for your health, but they also lead to a rise in spin-offs with an increase in sports tourism.”
The workshop was an opportunity to get together and share the many achievements of the past 20 years, certainly not an arrival point, but a starting point.

“I really enjoyed attending this workshop. As an athlete, I totally agree with the spirit with which this project was born: playing sports is a very powerful medicine. Our region is also an important place on a culinary level and a healthy diet is certainly a fundamental element for the recipe for feeling good and living better. As much as possible, I am happy to be able to share these values”.
