As part of the initiatives described and in continuity with the promotion and enhancement of the territory launched in 2015, the "Monte di Procida starts from Culture" initiative was born.
The project invests in the relaunch of cultural activities in the area. The initiatives of the territory, cultural and otherwise, have seen their slowdown due to the pandemic, which not only hindered the development of any type of cultural expression and / or event, but also isolated the person from the territory and from others.
The initiative aims to reconnect the territory and the community through initiatives that enhance the local cultural, historical and artistic heritage in order to involve and entertain citizens and at the same time broaden their knowledge of the beauties and cultural resources of the place.
In December 2020 with the call for "Monte di Procida starts from culture", the Municipality offered local associations the opportunity to present cultural projects aimed at enhancing the territory through different forms of artistic and cultural expression.
The proposals selected by the evaluation commission will give life to events and initiatives that will be financially supported by the Municipality of Monte di Procida and which will take place in compliance with the anti Covid regulations in force, from June to December 2021.
The project is promoted by the Department of Culture of Monte di Procida, and is managed under the technical direction of the Head of the sector Arch. Bibiana Schiano di Cola with the coordination of Maestro Antonio Colandrea.
