On that occasion, there was an amazing turnout with many initiatives. Several ministers also arrived in the provincial capital. This is a new opportunity for citizens, but also for tourists, to visit one of the most iconic ships of the Navy. Indeed, two visiting shifts are planned, both morning and afternoon. The protagonist of the 61st training campaign, after the stop in Ancona, the sailing ship arrives in Brindisi with the student helmsmen of the second class of the Mariscuola Taranto sergeants' course on board. With its three masts and long seafaring tradition, the Palinuro represents a symbol of training and national pride. After its stop in Brindisi, it will sail towards Corfu and Axat, offering the students a practical open sea experience. For many, it was a great emotion to visit the ship.
...every now and then when the pirates are always on the water, he said it was something special. What do you think?
And for me, it's an emotion, I mean, when I was here in Italy many years ago, I always said I wanted to go into the Navy too, and now I feel a little regretful because it's an emotional thing, but it's a great opportunity to be able to see it, right?
Yes, yes, yes, that's right. You just visited the ship, how was it? It was beautiful, stunning.
What did you like the most? The upper part.
Would you like to go back? Yes.
Beautiful, a great impression, look. It's truly beautiful. Look, were you surprised by anything in particular that you didn't expect to find?
No, no, my son is in the military, so I visit the ships every now and then. And look, Costier was my son, though. So, you were, let's say, playing at home, but it's nice to see here in Brindisi the chance to visit one of the most iconic ships of the Navy.
Yes, yes, that's right. Yes, it's true. It's beautiful and more publicity should be done for Brindisi at least, because this ship is almost 100 years old, so it's truly beautiful. Show more - at Brindisi

It was a Piazza dell'Unità inflamed by the voices and emotion of ten thousand people who responded to Elisa and Tananai silhouetted against the sunset aboard the Navy ship Palinuro.

Chilling moments, even on a hot night, for Tango, the hit by the Milanese singer-songwriter inspired by the true story of a couple torn apart by the war in Ukraine. The sea, the music, and a message of peace at this time when wars are being fought not far from us.

Tramonti a Nord Est, conceived by Elisa who also gave her fans pearls of voice and guitar such as "Se piovesse il tuo nome", involved thousands of young and very young people, but not only because in the Trieste event the audience included people of all ages.

The floating festival proposed subtitles and audio and video explanations for the first time just as the new law on accessibility came into force. Tonight it will be repeated in Elisa's Monfalcone - precisely in the Gulf of Panzano, and tomorrow in the Grado lagoon. Show more

The key points include:

Scope: Applies to tourist vessels and small recreational boats. Covers anchor buoy placement in sea areas outside port or designated tourist-port zones

Process:An applicant (natural or legal person) submits an electronic file to the relevant port authority.
Approvals require coordinated input from authorities including port services, the Navy, archaeological services, tourism planning bodies, and—where applicable—environmental agencies (especially for Natura 2000 or protected zones) .

Location & Safety Standards: Buoys must be:
≥ 500 m from ports, shipping lanes, other buoys, and offshore energy infrastructure;
≥ 100 m from swimming beaches and aquaculture zones;
≥ 50 m from underwater cables

Duration & Fees: Grants are valid for five years, with user fees determined based on sea area usage; payment proof is mandatory before installation and annually thereafter .

Installation Requirements: Applicants must ensure proper buoy installation, maintenance (including lighting and signage), and conduct periodic inspections. They must immediately report any underwater archaeological finds.

Enforcement: Inspections are carried out by the Hellenic Coast Guard per Law 5092/2024, with administrative and criminal penalties for violations

Anchoring with a vessel's own means is prohibited within the area where moorings are placed and within a 50-meter radius around it.

In summary, the decree provides a comprehensive framework regulating the licensing, siting, safety, financial obligations, and oversight of anchorage buoys for tourism and recreational vessels—promoting structured, safe boating use of Greece’s coastal waters. Show more
