Rosa Carbone
Calabrian. Born in Lungro, an Arbëreshe linguistic minority town in the province of Cosenza. Proud of the history and cultural heritage of her area, she oriented her study and professional career with the intention of bringing out its great tourism potential.
After graduating from the Università della Calabria with a bachelor's degree in Tourism and Cultural Systems Enhancement, she continued with postgraduate training in territorial marketing and tourism web marketing.
During her academic career, she accumulated significant experience in the tourism industry, working for Valtur both in Italy and abroad, and holding senior roles in marketing and customer relations in hotels in Calabria.
Her career was further enriched by working with the National Association of “Borghi Autentici d’Italia” where she advised municipalities in Campania and Calabria, and with the Ministry of Tourism, supporting the Mission Unit for the PNRR in coordination, monitoring and reporting activities.
For the past nine years or so, she has passionately chaired a local tourism promotion association, dedicating herself to the promotion of the area and the well-being of communities. In addition, she now works as a freelance consultant for public and private entities and foundations, and teaches tourism subjects at higher education institutions.
Her collaboration with the Matera Basilicata 2019 Foundation began in December 2018, dealing first with ticketing management and then with cultural reporting and planning.
