Italy is seeking to have the
hills around the Veneto towns of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene
where the world famous Prosecco sparkling wine is made put on
UNESCO's world heritage list, ANSA sources said Wednesday.
Agriculture Minister Maurizio Martina has signed the dossier for
the bid for UNESCO status, the sources said. The dossier will be
examined by the Italian UNESCO Committee on Thursday, which will
decide where to send to Paris the bid to be a UNESCO site by the
end of 2018, the sources added.
