XXVIII BMTA 2026 Paestum

From October 29 to November 1, 2026, the Autonomous Region of Sardinia will participate in the XXVIII edition of the Mediterranean Archaeological Tourism Exchange (BMTA) in Paestum (SA).

In the institutional space curated by the Directorate General for Cultural Heritage, Information, Entertainment and Sport, the island's tourist-cultural offer is presented to the public and international operators through a multimedia and identity journey that crosses Sardinian history: from Prehistory to the Nuragic civilization, to the testimonies of mining and industrial archeology.

The presence of the Region at the BMTA is divided into several moments of study:

UNESCO World Heritage (Saturday, October 31): a panel dedicated to Sardinia's contribution to the UNESCO lists, material and immaterial. We will talk about Su Nuraxi by Barumini, the Domus de Janas, the Tenor Song, the Faradda dei Candelieri di Sassari, the art of dry stone construction and the natural and cultural heritage of the Tepilora, Rio Posada and Montalbo UNESCO M.A.B. Reserve.

PNRR Digitalization and rural landscape (Saturday, October 31): a focus on the opportunities offered by the PNRR for the protection and usability of cultural heritage. At the center of the debate will be the digitization of large archival funds (Historical Mining Archive of IGEA and Higher Regional Ethnographic Institute - ISRE) with more than 700,000 new resources and the results of the plan based on the PNRR Rural Architecture, which has allowed the recovery of 455 architectural assets spread throughout the island.

Territorial synergy and B2B promotion
The promotion of the Sardinia destination makes use of collaboration with important entities and territorial networks, including the Cammino di Santa Barbara Foundation, the Nuoro Cultural District, Confcooperative Cultura Sport Sardegna and Culturmedia LegaCoop Sardegna. The operators will be the protagonists of the meetings in the Archeoincoming section and of the B2B Workshop with national and international tourist buyers.

The activities and panels of the Region of Sardinia will also be told through the insights of guest journalists Paolo Ribichini and Fabio Sironi.
