On 23 September the recently founded International Association “Via Querinissima” announced the intention soon to submit its candidature to the Council of Europe to obtain the European cultural route certification. The Association promotes the historic route along which Pietro Querini’s journey took place in the XVth century from Venice to the Lofoten islands. The project is promoted by the Veneto Region. Among its founding members are the Norland County (NO), Västra Götaland (SW) and the Cadice Municipality (ES). Roberto Ciambetti, President of the Veneto Regional Council and Kari Anne Bøkestad Andreassen, President of the Nordland Regional Council, underlined how the route unites Southern and Northern regions in our continent to narrate today’s Europe, through the knowledge and appreciation of the past. According to Luisella Pavan Woolfe, head of the Italian Representation of the Council of Europe, “Via Querinissima might be the first long maritime route among the 48 itineraries certified to date by the organization”.
