ITALY ITGD 2017
From Andrea Ogunbisi
Held between the 17 and 21 February in Italy, ITGD there involved tourist guides from all over the country, and
thousands of happy an enthusiastic visitors too. But this year events were even more meaningful.
After the devastating earthquakes in August and October 2016 and the heavy destruction caused in the central
regions of Italy, as guides we decided to contribute in some way to the restoration or reconstruction of a damaged
monument, so we launched a special fundraising aimed at that.
