Second stop in Puglia: the Ship arrives in Taranto

The North America Campaign 2026 of Amerigo Vespucci officially got underway from Porto Antico in Genoa, in the presence of leading civil and military authorities. A 156-day journey across the United States and Canada to bring Italian culture, dialogue and excellence around the world.

The journey of the Amerigo Vespucci becomes a docuseries: “Vespucci, il viaggio più lungo” tells the story of the Ship’s World Tour through the lens of an Italy travelling across the globe.
Broadcast in prime time on Rai 3 on Friday 17 and Friday 24 April, the docuseries is also available as a box set from 17 April on RaiPlay.

In the magnificent setting of the Colosseum Archaeological Park, and in the presence of institutional representatives, the incredible results of the initiative ‘Vespucci World Tour and Villaggio Italia 2023-2025’ were presented.

From July 2025, the Amerigo Vespucci is at the La Spezia Arsenal for an important maintenance period, essential to preserve its efficiency, safety, and timeless charm.

After two years away from home, the Vespucci returns to the port of La Spezia, ready to welcome visitors for one last moment of celebration of this extraordinary journey around the world.

The World Tour came to a close with the return of Villaggio Italia to Genoa, in its signature international format. A total of 56 hours open to the public featured film screenings, musical performances, and physical, digital, and immersive exhibitions.

On June 10, a breathtaking drone show lit up the skies over Genoa to celebrate the return of the Amerigo Vespucci.

A spectacular conclusion to the Tour with the “Meravigliosa” orchestra: 250 musicians on stage, 1,750 drones, and an unprecedented wave of emotion.

Where it all began on July 1, 2023: the Vespucci returns to Genoa for the Italian Navy Day.

Great success for the Villaggio IN Italia in Civitavecchia: 57,500 people boarded the Amerigo Vespucci.
