The new season of Una gita fuoriporta, the TV series dedicated to experiential tourism, outstanding territories and destinations that know how to tell their future through their history, stops off in Grado, the Isola del Sole (Island of Sun).
An episode that takes viewers into the heart of one of the most fascinating places on the Upper Adriatic, where the sea is not just a seaside destination, but a true culture of hospitality, wellbeing and quality of life.
Between the lagoon, the golden beach and the scent of the sea breeze, the story unfolds through an exclusive journey inside the Terme Marine di Grado (Grado Marine Spa) and the world of GIT – Grado Impianti Turistici, the company that has guarded and renewed the tourist identity of this Friulian town for over a century. Today GIT represents one of Italy's most important models of integration between tourist services, wellbeing, hospitality and the enhancement of the local area.
The Marine Spa: where the sea becomes therapy
The heart of the episode is dedicated to the Terme Marine di Grado, a unique place on the Italian scene where the tradition of thalassotherapy meets the most modern visions of wellness.
Here the sea is the absolute star. Seawater, sunshine and lagoon air become elements of a journey that has, for over a century, welcomed guests from all over Europe in search of balance, health and renewal. Today this tradition is being refreshed through new paths dedicated to wellbeing and longevity, making the Terme Marine one of the symbols of Grado's tourist offering.
Guiding us through the story is Martina Gramolazzi, Spa Manager of the Terme Marine di Grado, who opens the doors of a facility where every treatment is born from the meeting of nature, research and attention to the individual.
GIT: a vision looking to the future
The episode gives us a privileged view of the strategy guiding Grado's evolution as a contemporary tourist destination.
With Roberto Marin, President of GIT Grado Impianti Turistici S.p.A., a vision emerges that focuses on sustainability, extending the tourist season beyond summer, and the integrated development of the island's entire tourist heritage in the province of Gorizia.
From the Terme Marine to Grado's historic beach, from services dedicated to families to new investments geared towards year-round active tourism, the story highlights how hospitality today represents one of the strategic assets for the destination's future.
The taste of hospitality
The journeys of Una gita fuoriporta also pass through the flavours and emotions of the table. For this reason, our itinerary dedicates a special space to the gastronomic experience signed by GIT, told by Federico Veronesi, Food & Beverage Manager at GIT Grado Impianti Turistici. A journey that celebrates Adriatic tradition, local excellence and a philosophy of hospitality that puts the guest's experience at the centre, turning every moment of the holiday into an authentic memory.
A journey between sea, wellbeing and identity
The narrative unfolds through spectacular images of Grado's beach, the elegant spa complex, the relaxation areas and the island's most evocative corners. A story that goes beyond the traditional concept of a seaside holiday and shows how Grado is today a destination capable of living twelve months a year, thanks to an offering that combines health, nature, gastronomy and hospitality.
David Romano, author and presenter of the TV series
«In Grado we discovered something that goes beyond the sea. We told the story of a destination that has managed to turn its tradition into a contemporary vision of tourism. The Terme Marine represent the symbol of this journey: we wanted to show an authentic, elegant and surprisingly modern Grado. An island that welcomes, renews and leaves its mark.»
