Good water quality
Blue flag flies on 485 Italian beaches
While sun-seekers are already looking forward to the beach season, the water quality in Italian seaside resorts is also improving more and more. As a visible sign of this, the blue flag is flying on 485 beaches this summer, ten more than last year.
The European environmental foundation "Foundation for Environmental Education" (FEE), which was founded in 1981 and has been awarding the prize since 1985, announced this year's Italian winners on Tuesday. The 485 beaches in 236 municipalities include 34 seaside resorts in Liguria - the region has thus been awarded the most blue flags.
24 seaside resorts in the southern Italian region of Apulia and a further 20 in the southern Italian regions of Campania and Calabria also received the coveted flag. Twelve towns in Trentino-Alto Adige were also recognized for the excellent water quality of their lakes.
The assessment is carried out throughout Europe according to uniform criteria by national organizations. Compliance with the standards can be checked during the season by random sampling.
