MATERA HAS WON!!! “CULTURE IS THE ENGINE OF DEVELOPMENT”
The victory of Matera crowns a long journey of rebirth that began 20 years ago with the inscription on the UNESCO World Heritage list. It is the victory of the small contri the great, of a different thought, ancient and projected towards sustainability. Of an internal and forgotten Europe that is also the inner Europe of each of us. Today Matera shows that having a cultural interpretation on which to build cohesion, identity and project is the key to success.
