Intervention 5.2 - Refresher actions

Old traditions for ancient tastes - Vocational training institute  
The project aimed at enhancing the wine and food heritage of the Ferrara area. It is an integrated project in that it envisaged a research phase to re-discover ancient recipes of the lowlands and of Ferrara, as well as a 60-hours course for 14 people working in restaurants. The research project was called MARTINA (acronym from Mare, Ambiente, Ristorazione tipica, Turismo, Itinerari enogastronomici, Natura ed Accoglienza di qualità - Sea, Environment, Typical restaurants, Tourism, Wine and food itineraries, Nature and Quality tourism) and resulted in the publication of a promotional brochure listing all the restaurants participating in the initiative, and a second brochure with historical indications and environmental routes that re-discover the ancient recipes of the area. This promotional material will be distributed at fairs and events, and to tour operators, travel agencies and tourist information offices.
