Today’s photo comes from the stony, surreal cityscape of Matera, Basilicata. I was reminded to post about the 2019 Italian Capitale della Cultura after yesterday’s announcement proclaiming Parma the Italian cultural capital for 2020.

We’re currently in the Year of Palermo.

Palermo, Matera, Parma…future winners are sure to be dazzling examples of all that Italy has to offer.
