Amerigo Vespucci ship, a cherished regular at the annual Barcolana regatta which takes place on the first week of October this year, is to set off on world tour in July.
Italy is to send the Amerigo Vespucci tall ship on a two-year world tour to promote Italian food, wine, culture and design, which will results in ship’s absence during the annual regatta Barcolana event.
The fully rigged Italian navy ship would set sail on 1 July and would showcase Made in Italy excellence at every port.
Dubbed “the most beautiful ship in the world”, the Amerigo Vespucci navy training vessel was built in Castellamare di Stabia, Naples, in 1930.
