It - He continued - should be considered as a considerable stage of a journey that began several years ago and pursued with determination, especially with a view to creating a network of active subjects, whose development can only benefit a territory that deserves leaps in quality in the cultural offering, globally understood. The Apulian public, the schools of the Region have appreciated the quality of our proposal and are already inviting us to think of new ones. We do not stop and soon we will have news, I hope you like it».
