As part of its 15-stop world tour, the iconic Italian navy training vessel, the Amerigo Vespucci, will be making a stop in the Port of Los Angeles on Wednesday. Built in 1930 and famously known as “the most beautiful ship in the world,” this visit is a unique opportunity for the public to explore and experience this magnificent vessel.
From Wednesday until July 8th, the Amerigo Vespucci will be open for tours, allowing visitors to step onto its deck and marvel at its grandeur. In addition to exploring the ship itself, guests can also immerse themselves in Italian culture through food and live entertainment.
The opening ceremony on Wednesday will be attended by various Italian government officials, including Minister of Defense Guido Crosetto. Alongside the ship, the Villagio Italia will be set up as a “Multi-Year Traveling World Exposition” of Italian culture and traditions.
Within the Villagio, visitors can enjoy screenings of five renowned Italian films, view six exhibitions, see a display of Olympic Torches from past Italian-hosted Olympics, and admire the bronze sculpture “La David,” a rendition of Michelangelo’s masterpiece by Italian sculptor Jago. Additionally, there will be a makeshift restaurant with show cooking from Eataly.
