2019: Here we go! It will be the year of the anniversary of absolute genius who for 500 years has stimulated the imagination and curiosity of men: the great Leonardo da Vinci. There is no ďŹ eld of human knowledge where he did not leave a trace, a trip on his trail is a plunge into the sublime art and the Italian Renaissance time, one of the most important turning points in the history of mankind. But 2019 will not only be the anniversary of the great Italian genius; Matera, the most important city of the Basilicata region, will be the European capital of culture. Take the opportunity to experience one of the most original European destinations. In 2018 you should leave space on your agenda for other important events, ďŹ rst of all in September the 12th edition Salone del Gusto in Turin, the international worldwide event of Slow Food. Then, as the saying goes, there is always a reason to celebrate in Italy: it is also why we remain the most popular and sought-after destination for tourists from all over the world. Good luck and especially "buon viaggio" in Italy. Your Gadis Team
