"Culture does not isolate"

Procida has bet a lot on this eventor that since its proclamation has involved an entire Region, both for its hospitality and for its economic vitality. The taboo on mobility towards and within the island has also been demolished. From tomorrow, in fact, for the whole year the buses on the island will be free, at the same time as a low-emission traffic and road network plan. The community has shown great responsibility by collaborating spontaneouslyand dozens of cultural, solidarity, food and wine initiatives, inclusive projects. All that has been conceived and coordinated by the director of the event Agostino Riitano it has been establishing itself as a social value of a reality already known for its cinema, literature, the tenacity of its sailors, for the serene atmospheres. A hug to Europe and to the world.
