Istituto Italiano di Cultura di New York

Cosponsored by the Municipality of Bonorva, with the support of the Department of Industry of the Sardinia Region, MusaMadre will present two days of events in New York on May 31st and June 2nd on the themes of Sardinian cultural arts, sustainable tourism, and community revival.

The program includes a panel in collaboration with the Italian National Tourist Board (ENIT), Com.It.Es, and DisterraUS (Sardinian Community in the US), featuring scholars, architects, journalists, and tourism industry officials, who will gather to discuss the resources of the small inhabited village of Rebeccu and the Bonorva territory as a cultural model for Sardinia and other regions in Italy.

The discussion will range from the region’s unique history, from the pre-Nuragic period to the Middle Ages, and invaluable archaeological sites, to the present cultural and artistic initiatives, ecotourism and environmental projects, artist residencies targeting specific audiences, such as “root tourism” and the growing movement for reconnection of emigrated Sardinians and their descendants with the Mediterranean island.

The institutional greetings of the Major of Bonorva Massimo D’Agostino, and of Caterina Orlando US & MEX Country Manager at ENIT – Italian National Tourist Board will precede the panel. It will be introduced by Prof. Fabio Finotti, Director of the Italian Cultural Institute, with a video in dialogue with Prof. Matteo Corrias, Philologist and Editor-in-Chief of the Magazine "Monti Prama" about the Ancient Heritage of Sardinia.

"Sardinia is increasingly revealing itself as the cradle of a Mediterranean civilization capable of extending its influence to Egypt and the Middle East,” according to Professor Fabio Finotti, Director of the Italian Cultural Institute of New York. “Its ancient heritage is the strength that makes it one of the key regions for our future, from every point of view: cultural, scientific, social, and even religious."

“Sharing our lifestyle and traditions with the world is a way to increase interest in Italy and attract new opportunities for collaboration and cultural exchange,” says Alessandra Priante, President of ENIT-Italian National Tourist Board
