This book is dedicated to the citizens of the cities, addressing the exigent visitor, planning or during his explorations, in a revisited "voyage a l'orient", under the magnifying glass of the Phoenician Mediterranean Routes of Water. This is the first time that a transnational vision unifies city ports, springing from a common history, actually risking to be forgotten, but powerful to create new links and harmonious coexistence.
The four cities are presented through a photographic campaign, following the visit itineraries that Mare Nostrum has integrated into tourism plans and programs, tackling a highlighted tangible and intangible heritage, not always well evidenced by the traditional visit tours. Davide Virdis has interpreted these values in his exceptional pictures, offering to the cities a challenging promotional tool and to the visitors a key for access.
We are grateful to the Mayors of the four cities, who assisted and facilitated this work, that otherwise could not have been possible.
