Maratea in Scena - Suggestioni Estive
The summer programme of the Pearl of the Tyrrhenian
About Maratea in Scena
Maratea's Cultural Summer
Maratea in Scena - Suggestioni Estive is the grand umbrella event with which the Municipality of Maratea ignites the summer season of the "Pearl of the Tyrrhenian." A widespread programme that, starting from the first days of June and throughout the summer, transforms the Lucanian village into an open-air stage, enhancing the most evocative locations in the historic centre and along the coast.
A Multidisciplinary Programme
The festival embraces different genres and languages: concerts and DJ sets, theatre performances, book presentations, art exhibitions, conferences, and public debates, sporting events, and moments dedicated to local traditions. Within the programme, there is space for events that have become iconic, such as the Marateatro Festival, the Investigative Journalism Festival, and the Italian Art Tour, as well as food and wine events and initiatives promoting the region's excellences.
The Venues
The events take place in the most characteristic spots of Maratea: from the central Piazza Europa to the small squares of the historic centre, from historic villas to public parks. The administration's stated goal is to strengthen the community's connection with culture and the territory, while simultaneously increasing the village's tourist appeal during the peak season months. For those visiting the Province of Potenza and the Lucanian coast, Maratea in Scena is the best way to experience summer between the sea, art, and entertainment.
