Around two million people visited the
Villaggio Coldiretti (Coldiretti Village) event at Rome's Circus
Maximus, which has been showcasing the excellence of Italian
agriculture over the last three days, organizers said on Sunday.
Premier Giorgia Meloni was among them, as she visited the event
organized by farmers' association Coldiretti on Saturday.
"The Coldiretti Village was a great opportunity to raise
awareness about the biodiversity and sustainability of Italian
agriculture, in particular Lazio's agriculture, a model based on
the distinctiveness and quality of Italian agri-food, the
entrepreneurial spirit of young farmers and cutting-edge
innovation," said Coldiretti President Ettore Prandini.
"Citizens were able to see first-hand the best of Italian
agriculture, which we must now defend and support amid the
crisis triggered by war and price increases, as well as by wrong
and dangerous models of food production, such as the spread of
synthetic food"
