Consulta Valley Area Council
The vibrant local network developed among the various partners involved in the project led to the establishment of the Bormida Valley Territorial Council. This is a legal body with operational autonomy, formalized on November 23, 2023, as an office of the Fondazione Matrice ETS (comprising a Board of Directors and its President).
Its primary objective is to coordinate, through systematic actions, the promotion of the Bormida Gotica Route as a cultural and tourism product.
The Assembly of the Bormida Valley Area Council brings together nearly thirty entities, including twenty-five municipal administrations, and serves as a permanent forum for meeting, discussion, and proposals among local authorities. Furthermore, it continues to serve as a reference body for local associations and businesses, so that initiatives can emerge and flourish to enhance the historical, artistic, and landscape heritage of the Bormida Gotica cultural circuit.
