Procida Italian Capital of Culture 2022

With the slogan "culture does not island", The pearl of the Gulf of Naples, the small island of Procida is the Capital of Culture for 2022. For this timeless nativity scene, it will be a year marked by important numbers: 330 days of events, 240 artists, 44 cultural projects, 40 original works, 8 renewed cultural spaces, but above all an infinite number of smiles for those tourists who will visit this jewel. Set of several films, among which we like to remember "Il Postino" by the late Massimo Troisi, it is the smallest of the 3 islands in the Gulf of Naples, but perhaps among the three it is also the most intact, the wildest, the one that has underwent the minor changes over the centuries, but above all it is the truest.

Fishing village, with its 4 km of extension and 9 districts, is a succession of colorful houses that are reflected on the sea to be discovered, together with the many corners of the landscape, on foot, by moped or, better, with one of the many electric bicycles.MiBACT nominated her with the commission chaired by Stefano Baia Curioni and composed of Salvatore Adduce, Francesca Cappelletti, Roberto Livraghi, Cristina Loglio, Franco Iseppi and Giuseppe Piperata. "Long live Procida who will accompany us in the year of the restart and rebirth" said the Minister for Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism, Dario Franceschini, at the moment of the proclamation.
