Conventions in Matera
|
Convention Department Manager:
Sara Minardi
A convention in Matera
is a great opportunity to spend time in a
fascinating atmosphere, in an unusual and
captivating location where guests can breathe
centuries of history. Our objective, in
fact, is the utilization of the most beautiful
and prestigious historical sites present in the
city.
 The Sassi, separate yet naturally connective (of
cave-houses, splendid buildings of various eras,
terracing, labyrinthine streets, Byzantine and
Greco-Latin monasteries and churches with their
iconographic cycles that fresco the iconostasi
and the walls), that link the ancient
neighborhoods with the urban reality dominating
from the “plain” (with the splendor of
Romanesque and Baroque churches, noble palaces
and monasteries and convents), and the
Murgico Plateau permeated from the depths of the
gorges of the rocky precipices (with the
immense spaces lined with dry-stone walls, with
archaic water-gathering systems and with traces
of trenched villages from the Neolithic era),
induce one to contemplation and to amazement for
the perfect fusion of the beauty of nature and
of the man-made, that destroys the artificial
confines between that which is nature and that
which is human creation.

CONVENTION LOCATIONS:
Rocky Churches - Monasteries – Historic
Buildings |
|
S. Pietro Barisano |
 It is one of the most interesting
Churches located in the Sassi di Matera
carved entirely from the tuff block.
The interior is made up of 3 naves separated
by quadrangular pillars which are connected
by arches. The central nave can accommodate
approximately eighty participants.
Externally, in the charming little square is
a bell tower with more stories and areas
that can be used for refreshments. |
|
Casa del Pellegrino |
 Behind the Cathedral, the complex that
was founded in Matera in 1594 takes its name
from the district in the town with the same
name. Law n. 270 of 1997 allowed for the
complete renovation of the interior, with
the intention of providing a reception house
for Jubilee pilgrims. The project was
obligated to maintain the distinctiveness
and peculiarity of living in the mystic
simplicity of large vaulted spaces. It
offers a main hall that can contain up to
140 people and various small rooms for
side meetings, as well as areas for working
meals and gala dinners in a splendid
location that overlooks the Murgico Plateau
and the Sassi di Matera. The building also
has 7 double rooms. |
|
Palazzo Lanfranchi |
|
  Built to create a seminary according
to the wishes of Bishop Vincenzo Lanfranchi,
it was inaugurated in 1672. After the
unification of Italy the palace was used as
a high school where Giovanni Pascoli taught
between 1882 and 1884. Today it is the site
of the Basilicata Department of Monuments
and Other Treasures as well as housing the
Carlo Levi Foundation that exhibits numerous
works by Turinese artists such as the famous
painting “Lucania 61”. The Palace is also
home to the Museum of Medieval and Modern
Art. It offers
a Convention Hall
that seats around
120.

|
Palazzo dell'Annunziata |
|
  In 1734 the engineer, Vito Valentino
di Bitonto drew up an extensive plan for the
construction of this building containing a
ground floor plus two upper stories. The
building was completed by Mauro Manieri di
Nardò, one of the central characters of the
Barocco Leccese. The library was
re-opened to the public May 14, 1998.
The convention room can hold up to 120
people. Exhibition halls are also available
along with areas for coffee-breaks. |
|
Auditorium "Raffaele Gervasio" |
|
  Annexed to the music conservatory, it
seats 400 people. It was the first musical
institution founded in Basilicata. Initially
part of the Bari Conservatory in 1965, it
became autonomous in 1969. It is dedicated
to Egidio Romualdo Duni, Matera musician at
the heart of French culture in the 1700s.
The structure is part of an unique urban
historic context from which can be admired
the fascinating and evocative Sassi
scenery. Annexed to the music conservatory,
it seats 400 people. |

LOCATIONS FOR CORDIAL MEETINGS AND GALA DINNERS:
Terraces on the Sassi - Historic Homes - Ancient Fortified Manors |
|
Convicinio di Sant'Antonio |
|
  A single lobby and entrance hall for
four crypts belonging to diverse secular
congregations. The area in front of the
four churches was perhaps meant for the
custodian. Following the abandonment of the
Order (18th Century), the churches were used
as cellars, displaying the tubs for grape
pressing, as well as the recessed apses to
hold the barrels. |
|
Palazzo Bernardini |
|
  Palazzo Bernardini once Ferrau, was
built between the 15th and 16th centuries.
Access is by way of the Piazza Sedile or
Maggiore, a characteristic small square in
the historic center. The building, all
together, portrays markedly Renaissance
characteristics. The magnificence of the
interior is particularly adapted to special
occasions such as gala dinners. |
|
Torre Spagnola |
|
  It was originally built for defense
and as a watchtower during the Aragonese
period (15th century). Afterwards, around
the fortress, new buildings arose that were
meant for agricultural and pastoral
activities. The rural complex is made up of
a central courtyard, overlooking which are
the master’s quarters on the higher floors,
and work and storage areas on the lower
levels. The manor was later fortified to
make it more difficult for the brigands to
loot. |
