During its time in the Kingdom, there will also be an initiative called “Villaggio Italia,” where you can experience Italian culture, beauty, naval training and maritime diplomacy, cuisine, science, research, technology, and industry through events and exhibitions.
The Amerigo Vespucci is actually the oldest ship in service in the Italian Navy. The ship provides training activities for first-year cadets of the Naval Academy, students of the Military Naval School “F. Morosini,” and other naval training institutes, including young members of sailing associations such as the Lega Navale, the Associazione Nazionale Marinai d’Italia, and the Sail Training Association Italia.
The Training Ship of the Italian Navy, a three-masted sailing ship that was launched on February 22, 1931, the Vespucci is globally known as “the most beautiful ship in the world.” The program features video and photography exhibitions, an Italian botanical garden display, and demonstrations of Italian craftsmanship and industry. This will mark the vessel’s eighth stop after Los Angeles, Tokyo, Darwin, Singapore, Mumbai, Doha, and Abu Dhabi.
You can get free access with a regular reservation, and look forward to catching a screening of “La parte del leone” by B. Etchegaray (2023).
