Where is Apulia?

Apulia is a region in the South of Italy, which has invested in culture and creativity in the last ten years to make beauty and art the crucial elements for the renaissance of a region among the least developed in Europe.

These efforts have been repaid: Apulia has become one of the favourite destinations of the international tourism www.lonelyplanet.com

Why a fundraising?

In these days, many celebrities are becoming the symbol of the “resilience” to the Coronavirus. Songs, readings, tips on books to read and movies to see, digital archives made available, virtual tours in the museums, and more. Culture and creativity are the best “distraction” from the isolation of these days. Art is the only way to react to the “collective solitude” all over Italy.

But still, the artistic sector is often forgotten when referring to the “economic” emergency. Maybe, it is not evident how much the lock down of all culture and show spaces is not only a wound in the spirit of people and sociality of cities, but also a severe shock for the enterprises in this sector and for its turnover.

The requirements, necessary for the public health, have caused a lack of liquidity for the sector (more than 80% are micro or individual enterprises) and the recovery requires a special protection.

This becomes more evident in a Region where tourism and culture are the drivers of the economy at international level: within a few months, the risk is to see all the efforts made by administrations, institutions and professionals to make Apulia a land of beauty, art and creativity and one of the most attractive region in Italy, cancelled out. 

This is why, at the end of this emergency, Apulia creative people want to be ready to welcome their audience with a schedule of events of international appeal.


What do we want to do?

We will support artists and creative people to realise events for a big restart of the Region and its 6 provinces.
