Federico Pedini Amati (Secretary of State for Tourism): "Halloween entertains children all over the world and we thought of organizing something in line with this event to attract tourists and San Marino families. We thought of a series of initiatives that are attractive to all age groups and for the first time we are presenting something truly new: the ghost cable car. On the same days, religious initiatives will be organised, together with the Diocese, for the celebrations of All Saints' Day. in this case, in addition to the value of the celebration itself, they take on a tourist value as they are linked to projects on religious tourism".
