The scheduled activities started. The first contestants posed for Antonio Zanata and Illusia Filmworks. Sunset at Taranto and welcome party at Campomarino.

MARUGGIO – Antonio Zanata, now a former photographer of Miss Progress International, set up his set in the luminous Porticato hall of the Grand Hotel dei Cavalieri. Daria (Ukraine), Melanie (Benelux), Cherylva (Suriname), Stacey (Belgium) and Claudia (Italy) were the first to pose for him.

The fantastic sunshine helped Massimo Cerbera to give the “action” signal for the first video clips that Illusia Filmworks will produce to promote the brand #WeAreInpuglia worldwide.

In the afternoon the group moved to Taranto for the traditional visit to the scenic Aragonese Castle and the promenade in the streets of the old town and to the cathedral of San Cataldo.

The boats of via Garibaldi and the swinging bridge led it to Bernardi Bistrot, welcomed by Mimmo and his staff who offered some of the many delights of the popular pastry shop before the “sunset shots time” in the city of the two seas.

Panna e Cioccolato disco-bar at Campomarino, later in the evening, then hosted the welcome party for the Ambassadors of Progress.
