During the conference, Wenzhou Institute of Shuomen Ancient Port was inaugurated and Wenzhou Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology was authorized to be named also after the institute, an important step of Wenzhou to enhance Maritime Silk Road-related local cultural heritage protection.

Liang Yanhua, head of Wenzhou Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology, expounded on new discoveries about Shuomen ancient port site in recent years, allowing attendees of the conference to sneak a peak of the diverse relics and artifacts of the ancient port.

Currently, this year’s excavation tasks have largely been completed. Within the 1,000-plus square meters of newly excavated area, original coastline relics dating back to Five Dynasties to early Northern Song Dynasty were found, filling a key gap in chronological sequence of the Shuomen ancient port shoreline.

On the eastern side of Shuomen barbican, boundaries of outbound roads and residential zones from Southern Song Dynasty to Ming and Qing dynasties have been clearly defined, well representing the port-city spatial integration.

After two years of efforts, excavation teams there concluded surveying and excavation of the No. 2 shipwreck at Shuomen ancient port site and its difference from ancient ships made in Fujian Province and similarity with the No. 1 shipwreck point to a likely producing shipyard in ancient Wenzhou.

In general, such academic and archaeological discoveries provide more tangible evidences to refresh the role of Wenzhou as one of the heritage locations for Maritime Silk Road heritage application, helpful to better local cultural heritage protection and understanding of the Chinese civilization.

Poggio ai Santi Luxury Boutique Hotel – Where the Tuscan Coast Meets the Mediterranean Light

FLORENCE, Italy, Nov. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Most travellers think they know Tuscany: rolling hills, Renaissance towns, and country roads lined with cypress trees. Very few realise that Tuscany also has one of the most important and beautiful coastlines in Italy, stretching along the Tyrrhenian Sea and opening onto an extraordinary archipelago of seven islands, including the famous Island of Elba. This is the largest protected marine area in Europe, yet still a secret for many visitors.

one of the “nest”, in the Tuscan bush

Poggio ai Santi is part of this coastal world. Set on a hillside above San Vincenzo, it is one of the rare places where the beauty of the Tuscan countryside meets the luminosity of the Mediterranean. From the property, the sea appears like a vast silver horizon, while behind us rise olive groves, Mediterranean macchia, and the gentle rhythm of the coastal hills. It is a landscape where sea air and country scents meet naturally.

Even fewer people know that Bolgheri, home to some of Italy’s greatest wines—Sassicaia, Ornellaia, Masseto—is only twelve kilometres from Poggio ai Santi. These celebrated wines were born on this very coastline. Their exceptional character comes from a unique combination: the reflection of the sea’s light on the vineyards, an exceptional southwest exposure, and soils shaped by ancient marine deposits. This marriage of land and sea allows Bolgheri to produce wines of remarkable elegance and depth.

Poggio ai Santi shares this same microclimate. The coast enjoys mild winters, with temperatures similar to southern Sardinia. For our guests, this means that Poggio ai Santi is a refuge of light and tranquillity all year round, offering winter walks, peaceful landscapes, and the calm beauty of the Mediterranean, away from the busy summer months.

Our philosophy is simple: authenticity, space, and harmony with nature. Suites open onto private gardens or terraces, the air carries the scent of herbs and sea breeze, and the landscape invites relaxation and contemplation. At our restaurant, Il Sale, many ingredients come directly from the estate or from trusted local producers, expressing the flavours of both coast and countryside.

Poggio ai Santi is not only a place to stay—it is an invitation to discover a lesser-known Tuscany: luminous, maritime, agricultural, and deeply authentic. Here, the sea and the hills belong to the same horizon.
