Alessandra, a strategic point
Alexandria, located at the center of a crossroads of culture, history and commerce, benefits from a strategic location that connects it to three major Italian cities, each with its own invaluable value.
Despite the lack of plains in the Ligurian region, Alexandria offers vast expanses of agricultural and industrial land that allow for the sorting of goods destined for large distribution chains, such as Amazon. This Alexandria backport is a prime transit point for logistics and trade, contributing to an efficient trading system between the industrial heartland of the north and the port of Genoa, a vital hub for imports and exports.
Thanks to this network of connections, Alexandria not only benefits from the opportunities offered by large neighboring cities, but also establishes itself as a crucial hub for the international economy and trade.
Milan
Milan, the world capital of business, fashion and services, is a focal point for economic exchange and growth opportunities. Turin, a city rich in history and prestige, is a symbol of the Savoy dynasty and the Savoy capital, witnessing centuries of noble and cultural traditions.

Genoa
Finally, Genoa, the renowned maritime republic and one of the most crucial hubs of international trade, enriches the landscape with its port, among the most important in Europe.
In this context, Alexandria plays a key role in facilitating trade flows through a strategic agreement with Liguria.
