Celebrating its commitment to wellness, a small town in Italy was recognized this month for its residents' longevity and improved living conditions. The town of Arzachena, which sits on the island of Sardinia, was studied for its "agro-pastoral" economy and "frugal diet," the Consorzio Costa Smeralda, a property management and development company, shared with Travel + Leisure.
It joins a cluster of other areas on Sardinia that have been recognized for a connection between their traditional lifestyles and long-living residents, like Ogliastra. To recognize its longevity status, Arzachena was awarded a Blue Zone certification during the Consorzio Costa Smeralda's annual Longevity Fest earlier this month.
