It's just around 365 days left to 2019, year in which Matera will be the European Capital of Culture. This is a date that gives us emotion and responsibility together.

From 19 January 2018 our countdown will begin with a participatory program, which will involve both permanent residents and temporary citizens.
The wish for this New Year is to work together to cultivate new roots and to move towards a future opened to new forms of culture and society.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
