In Italy, from North to South, and abroad, a total of 154 fly. They are the 2023 Green Flags, a ‘guide’ for parents looking for child-friendly beaches, chosen directly by paediatricians. The updated list was unveiled today in Roccella Jonica (Reggio Calabria) by the creator of the initiative Italo Farnetani, university professor of Pediatrics and president of the International Workshop of Green flags. There are now 2,903 white coats of the children involved in the project, Italian and foreign doctors who have nominated the ideal seaside destinations for families, have studied and carefully selected them. The result is a list of 146 Italian beaches awarded the green flag, to which are added 5 locations located in the European Union and 3 in Africa. For 2023, a single new entry, compared to the fully confirmed roster of the 2022 edition: it is the municipality of Montepaone (Catanzaro) that obtained the banner and brings the region’s total to 20, confirming it on the top step of the podium of the territories with more beaches suitable for baby bathers.
Some groups of paediatricians have also proposed 5 other locations, but – the organizers explain – the necessary number of proposing specialists (35) was not reached precisely because there was no unanimity of opinion. “This also demonstrates the accuracy and in-depth study that characterizes the choice of pediatricians and the rigor that is implemented in the assignment of green flags”, ensure the promoters. All the white coats have operated “on a voluntary basis, without compensation, profit or sponsorship”, they add. Farnetani then announced that the sixth International Workshop of Green flags, the IX National Conference on Green Flags, and the delivery ceremony of the banners to the mayors and to the awarded ambassadors.
Ceremony during which the special green flags made for the places that have obtained the longest and most uninterrupted recognition will also be awarded. 10 of them have continuously obtained the green flag for 16 years: Cefalù, Iesolo, Lignano Sabbiadoro, Nicotera, Ostuni, Riccione, Sabaudia, San Benedetto del Tronto, San Teodoro, Viareggio. Thirteen more for 15 years: Alghero, Formia, Gaeta, Gallipoli, Isola di Capo Rizzuto, Marina di Camerota, Marina di Ragusa, Montalto di Castro, Palinuro, San Vito Lo Capo, Soverato, Sperlonga, Vieste. The theme of the international scientific conference, informs Farnetani, will be: sport on the beach in safety. With university and hospital doctors as speakers, the scientific event has already obtained the patronage of the Ministry of Health.
“The advice I give to parents, based on the new map drawn by the 2023 green flags, is to travel – says Farnetani – and for a beach holiday, reach even distant destinations together with your children, as many foreign families do. children is also useful for learning and psychological development, because seeing new environments, a different daily life, they have a sure advantage also for reasoning and learning ability Parents knowing in advance the places suitable for children know where they can find the right services for your children, and where you can travel even more safely”.
