The new board of directors of
Italy's tourism agency ENIT took office on Thursday, bringing to
a close a period of restructuring and reorganisation lasting
over a year.
The new ENIT board is chaired by cultural manager and
former skier Evelina Christillin, with tourism manager Fabio
Maria Lazzerini and sociologist and Antonio Preiti as members.
They replace extraordinary commissioner Cristiano Radaelli,
who in July 2014 was tasked by the government with the job of
turning the country's old-fashioned tourist board into a public
commercial company.
"At last we're turning a new leaf, it will be a real change
of pace for Italian tourism," said Culture Minister Dario
Franceschini.
Better promotion of Italy's culture, landscape and
gastronomic traditions would "create new opportunities for
development" he added.
