Matera, Capitale europea della Cultura 2019: simbolo di riuso, resilienza ed ospitalità sostenibile

Matera, European Capital of Culture 2019: symbol of reuse, resilience and sustainable hospitality. - Matera 2019 must be an opportunity to rediscover the beauty of the spaces we inhabit daily and above all it must represent not only an opportunity to wonder about the relationship between man and the environment, but also a different way of representing this relationship, by re-evaluating traditional values. Matera is a resilient city: able to recover from the terrible shock of the mid-twentieth century that led the city to be defined as a “national shame”, today it has become one of the assets most renowned in the world, a model of sustainability and resilience for Europe and for the whole world. A symbol of sustainable hospitality is the Hotel Sextantio – Grotte della Civita which is composed by 18 impeccable rooms in the oldest part of the ancient cave dwellings of Matera (Sasso Barisano).
