ANF Featured in Italian Magazine

If you see Italian tourists later this year, it’s thanks to some press coverage in qui Touring, Stati Uniti 2009, an Italian magazine.
The Allegheny National Forest Vacation Bureau conducted a FAM (familiarization tour) traveling with the Italian writer and photographer throughout McKean County. Many local businesses and residents assisted with hosting the group. In a courtesy copy of the magazine received by the bureau earlier this month, an entire section devoted to Pennsylvania features some items closer to home for McKean Countians.
The 10-page spread on Pennsylvania includes a sidebar on the Allegheny National Forest. Bradford and the Allegheny National Forest are two of the eight destinations featured on the map of Pennsylvania.
One of the photos in the spread is a train going over the Kinzua Viaduct before its collapse in 2003.
The text reads that after leaving Niagara Falls, one should head south to Bradford to visit the Zippo/Case Visitors Center, spend the night in one of the “beautifulest” cottages at Glendorn, trekking through nature and visiting the Kinzua Viaduct. According to the article, the viaduct is still visible today and “in 2009, beginning the recovery.”
Work is expected to begin later this year on the restablization of the bridge and the construction of a partially glassed skywalk. Money was just earmarked from the state budget for a proposed interactive discovery/visitors center with fabulous views of the bridge.
This is an image that was included in the magazine spread. Only a few areas in Pennsylvania are mentioned – Philadelphia, Pittsburgh PLUS Bradford and the Allegheny National Forest.
