The Municipality of Prato

The EPIC project stems from the experience already underway by the Municipality of Prato with TIPO – Turismo Industriale Prato, an initiative that since 2021 has offered activities related to the discovery of the city's manufacturing heritage and industrial archaeology. Over the years, TIPO has successfully engaged tourism and business professionals, attracting the attention of residents and visitors.
With EPIC, the municipal administration is taking the city a step forward, leveraging the area's potential and aiming for equitable and sustainable development of tourism.
