Wasn't the Sila apparently scheduled for 2023? Anyway I am happy they didn't take away my beloved Emilian karst... but I am little bit surprised that they retired Pavia, Lucca and Parma. At least the first two have some potential. Maybe they have other plans, like linking Pavia to the Langobard's centers? That would be needed at last (e.g. San Michele). And Lucca might be at least considered for the associative value of its comics/gaming convention :-D And a pity for the Romanesque cathedrals, too. Also, I was intrigued by the Lower Palaeolithic Palaeosurfaces, but apparently there is not enough love for them and Molise (the region where they are, popularly said to "not exist"... somewhat like Bielefeld).
Now, I'll have to have a better look at these proposals, but it's already noticeable that there are more historical theatres in the Marches than nuragical monuments. As some kind of background, I can tell you that it's already some years, some time after the
earthquake in 2016, I think, that they have been pushing Marches over anything else. You cannot listen to 5 minutes of radio without hearing Marches' advertising, and also in TV during the good season especially there's a kind of bombardment (one
here). And of course, the testimonial is none else than Mancini, the coach of Italy, which does exactly that: he gives the number of historical theaters of his region (among others)... but the yare apparently 72! So Els, let's prepare for an extension :-P Who could've known that they would land on the T-list, but it seems to be part of the push.
