ASTANA. KAZINFORM On Saturday three Italian regions - Marche, Tuscany, and Umbria presented their achievements in the field of future energy at the Astana EXPO-2017.

Such union of these three central regions of Italy is dictated by the territorial cohesion, social integration and environmental sustainability that are goals that Marche, Tuscany, and Umbria adhere to in their policies. Each region has adapted its regional energy policy to the common European climate and energy goals.

"We create a synergy between the features and identity of each of our regions," said Anna Casini, vice president of the Marche region. According to her, consolidation of intellectual, cultural, historical and social potential of the three regions is based on their economic commonality, as well as on the aspects that allow us to consider ourselves "the center of Italy", while not abandoning our own identities.

In addition to the achievements in the field of energy, the regions presented an exhibition of art pottery. "Ceramic art is an ideal fusion of the energy of the Earth and the creativity of mankind," stressed Anna Casini. "The three exhibits showcase the beauty of the forms and energy of elements typical of nature: water, fire, air, and clay, three treasure chests full of secrets hidden in every Italian region, with its know-how, history, and tradition."
