The Parco Costiero Riviera dei Fiori has received an important national recognition: the Italian Green Road Award, also known as the Oscar of Cycle Tourism. This award celebrates routes that combine sustainable mobility, technical excellence, and environmental care.

Managed by AMAIE Energia e Servizi, the cycling and walking path stands out as a model for slow tourism and respect for the landscape. The route stretches for 33 kilometers, from Ospedaletti to Imperia.
It follows the former coastal railway line. The path is one of the most scenic sections of the Tyrrhenian Cycle Route. This route is part of the ten national cycle routes promoted by the Italian Ministries of Infrastructure and Tourism.

Of these 33 kilometers, AMAIE Energia e Servizi directly manages 24, between Sanremo and San Lorenzo al Mare. The company ensures ongoing maintenance, cleanliness, safety, and dedicated services for residents and visitors, with special attention to family accessibility.

The award ceremony took place in Trieste, with the participation of Luca Lombardi, Regional Councillor for Tourism; Fabio Finamore, Vice President of AMAIE; Tiziana Ramoino, Member of the AMAIE Board of Directors; and Cinzia Malacrida, Manager of the Coastal Park. Their presence underlined the collective value of this achievement.

The recognition was granted by a jury of experts in tourism, sustainable mobility, and environmental issues, who praised the project’s quality, comprehensive green services, clear signage, accessibility, and strong scenic and cultural impact.

For AMAIE Energia e Servizi, this award represents an incentive to continue enhancing the local area and promoting sustainable mobility. The Riviera dei Fiori Coastal Park thus reaffirms itself as an outstanding infrastructure — one that attracts visitors, supports slow tourism, and strengthens the identity of the Ligurian Riviera.

Sanremo is preparing to welcome Archeopedalata 2025, an event that brings together sport, culture and nature. In addition, it represents an important opportunity to enhance the local area. The event is scheduled for Sunday 28 September along the Parco Costiero della Riviera dei Fiori, the major cycle and pedestrian path created on the former railway line and now managed by AMAIE. In this setting, participants will enjoy a unique experience combining landscape and history. The event will in fact be a slow and evocative journey through archaeology, nature and sustainable mobility. For this reason, it stands out as a special opportunity to discover and promote the historical and environmental heritage of the Ponente ligure, cycling immersed in the beauty of the Riviera dei Fiori.

A route between archaeology and landscape

Archeopedalata is not a competition. It is a cycling experience open to everyone. The route takes participants on a journey to discover unique places, with stops at historical sites and areas of archaeological interest. In addition, guides and experts will be present along the route, sharing insights and stories about the territory. In this way, the day becomes not only a sporting activity but also a cultural experience. The event therefore represents an opportunity for learning and social interaction, allowing participants to experience the landscape in a different way and to share the journey with others. The ride will start at 9:30 am from Villa Romana della Foce in Sanremo (behind the cemetery) and will end at 12:30 pm at Grotta dell’Arma, a site of extraordinary historical and archaeological value.

Sustainability and community at the core

The Parco Costiero della Riviera dei Fiori is one of the most important symbols of sustainable regeneration in the Ponente ligure. Moreover, it represents a place where nature, history and social life come together. Archeopedalata 2025 strengthens this vocation. In fact, cycling becomes the ideal means to promote an environmentally conscious lifestyle. At the same time, it represents a model of soft mobility capable of combining tourism, wellbeing and respect for the territory. The ride is designed for everyone: families, enthusiasts and cyclists alike. In this way, each participant can experience the park at their own pace, turning the route into a true journey through local history and nature.

Practical information

Participation is free of charge and open to anyone using their own bicycle. For organisational reasons, mandatory registration is required by emailing: sabap-im-sv.comunicazione@cultura.gov.it.

A meeting was held between the new President of Lions Club Sanremo Host, Giorgio Cravaschino, and the President of Amaie Energia e Servizi, Sergio Tommasini. Giorgio Cravaschino recently began his year at the helm of the historic city service club.

Launch of a social initiative for the collection of used eyeglasses

The meeting provided an opportunity to launch a shared initiative aimed at developing a project of high social value in Sanremo: the collection of used eyeglasses to be reused by people in need.

International solidarity and local network synergy

The initiative forms part of the Lions Club’s international solidarity activities. It will be developed in synergy with Amaie Energia e Servizi. The company will contribute its local network and organizational expertise. These resources will support the collection process.The goal is to create accessible collection points for citizens, encouraging community participation and promoting a simple gesture with significant social and environmental impact.

Lions Club Sanremo Host mission and commitment

“Solidarity and care for others are an integral part of the mission of Lions Club Sanremo Host,” said Giorgio Cravaschino, “and we are pleased to rely on the collaboration of Amaie Energia to give concrete form to this project for the benefit of the city.”

Amaie Energia e Servizi and local social responsibility

“Amaie Energia is a company deeply rooted in the local area,” added Sergio Tommasini, “and considers it essential to support initiatives that bring together social inclusion, sustainability, and civic participation. The collection of used eyeglasses fully reflects this approach.”

Project timeline and community involvement

In the coming weeks, the operational details of the project will be defined. The initiative is expected to be launched by the autumn, with the aim of involving schools, associations, and the wider community.

Amaie Energia e Servizi expresses great satisfaction for an important event that took place at the equipped public beach “La Fortezza” in Arma di Taggia. For the second consecutive year, a loggerhead sea turtle (Caretta caretta) chose the Arma coastline to lay its eggs.

Environmental quality and protection of marine biodiversity

This return is not only an exciting moment. It is also a tangible sign of the environmental quality of the coastline and the growing commitment to protecting marine biodiversity. The company manages the cycle and pedestrian path of the Ponente Coastal Park. It is also responsible for public and private maintenance along the route and for tourist services. In this context, the company views this event as spontaneous recognition of its ongoing work to protect and enhance the territory.

Amaie Energia e Servizi on coastline health and sustainability

“It is a moment of great emotion and responsibility. The choice of a loggerhead sea turtle to return and nest on our beaches for the second year in a row is a clear indicator of the health of our coastline,” states Amaie Energia e Servizi. The event brings with it the magic of summer and strengthens the company’s commitment to environmental protection, sustainable land management and the enhancement of natural heritage.

Collaboration for environmental protection and future generations

Amaie Energia thanks the relevant authorities, volunteers and all citizens involved in monitoring and protecting the nest, demonstrating how collaboration between the public sector, private entities and the local community can generate concrete results for the benefit of the environment and future generations.

The institutional visits of Amaie Energia e Servizi to the municipalities in the area continue.

Financial return linked to separate waste collection

Strong appreciation was expressed for the recent initiative approved by the Assembly of Mayors, following a proposal by Amaie Energia e Servizi, concerning the financial return of a quota linked to separate waste collection. For some municipalities, this measure represents a significant economic benefit, equivalent to one or more monthly payments per year.

Direct dialogue as a strategic element

For Amaie Energia, direct dialogue with mayors, local administrators and municipal technicians is a key element of its operational strategy.

Active listening and tailored services

Active listening to local communities makes it possible to tailor services. It helps identify critical issues and promote best practices. It also allows us to share sustainable solutions and provide concrete and timely responses.

Sergio Tommasini on public governance and collaboration

Sergio Tommasini, President of Amaie Energia e Servizi, stated: “Continuous attention to municipalities is not only an institutional duty, but a strategic choice that strengthens a model of public governance based on collaboration, efficiency and shared responsibility.”

Amaie Energia e Servizi has completed the analysis of data related to separate waste collection for the three year period 2022–2024 across the 18 municipalities of the Sanremo area, recording clearly positive results.

The funds will be assigned according to objective criteria, rewarding management efficiency and environmental performance.

A model of virtuous and responsible public governance

Economic benefits for municipalities such as Bajardo and Terzorio

Tiziana Ramoino on support for smaller municipalities

Tiziana Ramoino, Board Member of Amaie Energia e Servizi, explained that the positive financial results made it possible to introduce this form of allocation, designed primarily to support smaller municipalities and to confirm a tangible sign of closeness to the served territory.

Matteo Orengo on citizens’ commitment to recycling

Matteo Orengo, President of the Assembly of Mayors, thanked and praised the initiative of Amaie Energia e Servizi, stating that rewarding citizens’ commitment to recycling helps stimulate further improvements. He also highlighted that overall trends are positive, even though some municipalities still need to improve their performance.
