During the event, experts will intervene to discuss the great development opportunity that ancient traditions can give to this land both for a socio–cultural enhancement and for economic development.

The three evenings will be enlivened by music and entertainment. Special guest, on Sunday, 19th October, the Neapolitan singer and saxophonist Enzo Avitabile, an artist who has collaborated with great characters of the Italian and international music scene like Pino Daniele, Edoardo Bennato and Tina Turner.
