- The Tonnara (little ancient harbor with fascinating fishing buildings in which tunas were processed after the fishing) of Favignana has been inserted in the ministerial decree about the Red Tuna fishing. It will be one of the 6 structures, in Italy, for the so called "Fixed Tonnara" system, the only in Sicily. The others are in Sardinia and Liguria. A fact that Giovanni Tumbiolo, president of the Fishing Production District has defined very significant: << Sicily has give back life to its Tonnara. A moment that should be promoted. Our island, in fact, take back its cultural and anthropological dimension too, which is strongly tied to history and traditions. This will be highlighted ny our administration during the "Blue Sea Land" manifestation. We've already talked about it with the tuna producers, because it is good to explain that tuna in Sicily is not inly simply a product but a true myth. We should work better and more on the promotional system. Highlight what it represents for the Sicilian Sea culture>>.
