(ANSA) – MATERA, NOV 13 – ” We are working for the year of Procida Italian Capital of Culture 2022 to make history known: from the experience of Matera European Capital of Culture 2019 we want to understand strengths, weaknesses and impact on the local community “. Thus the mayor of Procida, Raimondo Ambrosino, on the occasion of the meeting in the Città dei Sassi between the Volunteers Open Culture 2019 association and the organization of volunteers” La Procida che Verei “.
“We came to Matera – underlined Ambrosino – with a group of citizens to see and understand how the Lucanian city reacted to that experience. Procida and Matera share the fact that, before the proclamation as Capitali, they were much less known. Matera as a European capital has turned to the whole world. We too have had a great showcase, so we must understand what dynamics to follow, what can be the side effects and how to correct any smudges ”.
Ambrosino then highlighted that “Procida is a municipality of ten thousand inhabitants: we are a small reality and we are all personally committed, we have few staff, but we also have a strong sense of pride, which is to have redeemed this island compared to a century, that of the twentieth century, which saw Capri and Ischia as protagonists, undoubtedly the most famous. ” The mayor added that the inaugural ceremony is being worked on: ” We are focused on the opening event which is January 22 2022. With the Dossier there is a general project that will allow us to organize a series of events during the year and to propose an alternative development model, respectful of the dynamics and we propose, as seen in Matera, to enjoy it on foot, to get lost in our narrow streets and squares to immerse yourself in an alternative dimension, as happens for tourists who come to the Sassi. This – he concluded – is a great potential we have: a small island, with slow rhythms of life, just a few kilometers from a metropolis like Naples “. (HANDLE).
