MATERA

IdD is located in the central heart of the city of Matera, one of the oldest cities in the world, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993, and European Capital of Culture of 2019. It has been an important place of experimentation, innovation, and attraction of great filmmakers and artists since the 1950’s and now it is one of Europe’s main cities of art. Matera is located not only at the center of South Italy but also of the Mediterranean area, thus highlighting the richness and diversity of cultures – of which it constitutes a crossroads – as well as the shared characteristics, increasing the sense of belonging of European citizens and promoting culture as a tool for the city development. This has resulted in international visibility while developing connections and partnerships at European level
