VERONA – The age-old passion for horses grips some 30 percent of Italian families, with a total of 3.2 million participants, according to a study by Fieracavalli-Nomisma on the occasion of the 121st edition of the international equestrian trade fair at the Veronafiere convention center.
It is a passion that has lasted beyond the industrial and digital revolutions. For sport or as a hobby, more often than for work, a total of 8 percent of the active population in Italy (18-65 years old, therefore not counting minors) got into the saddle during the year.
A peaceful army of equestrians with a demographic profile made up mainly of Generation X, university graduates, in northern Italy, with an average-to-high income, and above all with an almost unanimous preference for horseback riding and equestrian tourism, practiced in 90 percent of cases.
For each, the average expense for equestrianism is around 1,500 euros per year, due to the benefits expressed, which run from a sense of freedom to relaxation, from harmony to fun and commitment.
Even among those who don’t participate, the equestrian universe is viewed positively, with nearly half of Italians saying they would try the experience, especially those under age 35 (58 percent).
Horses, nature, and the world of food and wine make a winning combination for 2.8 million horse enthusiasts, who find their natural vocation in equestrian tourism.
Nine out of ten horse enthusiasts went horseback riding in the past year (35 percent regularly), mainly for two to three hours at
a time (44 percent), but also for a half or whole day (26 percent), or for a weekend (3 percent), with average per-person spending of 150 euros per day.

Calabrian resort Tropea wins coveted tourism award
ANSA
TROPEA – The famed Calabrian seaside resort of Tropea has been named “Borgo dei Borghi” for 2021 in an award given each year by Rai3 state broadcasting channel.
The resort, nicknamed The Pearl of the Tyrrhenian Sea, is the jewel in the crown of Calabria's Coast of the Gods.
Tropea won the coveted prize for "the heady combination of its sea, sun, art, culture, architecture, gastronomy and hospitality," Rai3 said.
"Tropea exults for the victory and beside the joy feels deep gratitude for the many people who have contributed to getting it,"
said Mayor Nino Macrì.
He said Tropea was proud to have beaten
off the competition from 19 other historic borghi across Italy.
"This victory is a decisive injection of energy to go forward in these tough times," he said, dedicating the award to the late governor of Calabria, Jole Santelli, who died of cancer at age 51 in October.
The minister for the South Mara Carfagna said on Twitter: "Tropea is the Borgo dei Borghi 2021, an important recognition for the splendid Calabrian town. Great prestige for the whole of the south. Viva our Peal
of the Tyrrhenian, we can't wait to be able to visit is again.”

It takes a commitment today to honor 1976 prices, and that’s just what La Famiglia is all about. A commitment to quality and honesty blended in with a love of sharing the Sena family’s csulture and roots.
The Sena Family tradition of culinary excellence dates back to early 1947 when Carlo “Papa” Sena began to cook in postwar Naples and immigrated to the United States for work as a Master Chef in Philadelphia.
A ‘family meeting’ about Papa’s employment lead to a ‘fam- ily decision’ to open a restaurant as ‘a family’. And, in 1976, “Mama” Josephina, daughter Rosa, and sons Gino, Luca,
