The number of Italian beaches to be awarded a prestigious Blue Flag for clean water and pristine sands has risen again this year according to the international Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE). Italy can now boast 269 beaches that have passed FEE’s strict tests for water quality and environmental management - 21 more than last year. Liguira topped the league for the second straight year for 20 beaches that passed the test, the same as last year, followed by Tuscany with 18 (one more than in 2013) and the central Marche region with 17 (one less than in 2013). Sardinia, known worldwide for its crystalline waters, lost a Blue Flag while Sicily gained two, for a total of six Blue Flag beaches each.
