PISTOIA Here are the 50 guests selected through the “CALL for Creative Curious Travellers 2017” that has received 304 submissions from all around the World! The #CCTravellers2017 will spend some days in Pistoia – Italian Capital of Culture 2017 – from mid July to mid September, to explore the city and find their story… to tell and share on our web guidezine!
In this guest LIST, below, there is a short introduction about everyone but – if you are curious – you can find out many beautiful things about the creativity of these writers, photographers, filmmakers, illustrators, artists from all around the World, just clicking on their websites, blogs or social media. 😉
Welcome Home! & More…
- Accommodation by a spacious and cosy apartment in the middle of a plant nursery, a few minutes from the city centre, at the headquarters of our main sponsor Giorgio Tesi Group: leading company in the production of ornamental plants and cultivated surface in Europe, which has become standard-bearer of the beauties of Pistoia and its territory around the world through NATURART magazine and Discoverpistoia.it portal.
- Free entrance to museums, exhibitions and events of Pistoia 2017.
- La Sala “tickets” for your lunch + dinner in Piazza della Sala.
- FAI Giovani Pistoia will provide information and will be happy to show the most beautiful hidden places of this city and its surroundings.
- BrickScape.it – the experiential tourism search engine – will offer to some #CCTravellers2017 (selected according to their proximity to the tourism topic), an experience in Tuscany: because Pistoia is an ideal base to explore this beautiful region!
- CCT & Friends’ stickers to spread smiles! 🙂
IMPORTANT MESSAGE FOR THE CITY! According to their passions and cultural interests, we’ll be super happy to put our special guests in touch with creative curious locals and cultural independent organisations. So, if you are based in Pistoia and would like to meet and create something together with one or more #CCTravellers2017, please contact the CCTeam [email: hello@cct-seecity.com | tel. +39 366 9777735]. Thank you!
304 submissions!
First of all, we are truly honored and thankful for every single submission, it was very difficult for us to make this selection: our CALL for Creative Curious Travellers 2017 has received 304 submissions from all around the World, all interesting and passionate. Unfortunately, for technical limits, it was supposed to host maximum 40 people. We have tried to do our best to guarantee the widest diversity in storytelling formats, creativity and cultural backgrounds. And also we have tried to do our best to host as much people as possibile: in the end we’ll manage to welcome 50 #CCTravellers2017 from all around the World! We’ll try to keep in touch with all the candidates anyway and please note this: our community is always open. Thank you all from the bottom of our heart!
50 #CCTravellers2017!
This LIST is in ALPHABETICAL ORDER (considering the first name of the people who submitted the application for him/herself or for his/her own team). If you are in the list, you can share the news and tell your (future-present-past) experience with the hashtags #CCTravellers2017 & #SeeCity. More useful hashtags: #Pistoia2017 & #DiscoverPistoia. You can also tag @CCTseecity on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google+: we’ll be super happy to re-post all the contents related to this project!

#CCTravellers2017 is a project by CCT-SeeCity for the City of Pistoia.
“CCTravellers” is a co-storytelling project created, promoted and organised by CCT-SeeCity. A project for the promotion of Creativity, Culture, Territory. An opportunity for every creative curious traveller but also (and especially) for the city involved. A simple and flexible format, ideal for telling everything that is still ignored or little known by the mass, in favour of a conscious and sustainable, slow and widespread tourism, in contact with the most authentic local life.
This is our second edition after the first experiment in Prato: #CCTravellers2016.
We can’t wait to welcome you all! See you soon in Pistoia, #CCTravellers2017! 🙂
Love, CCTeam
