The exhibition ‘Caravaggio. Narciso, il mito di un capolavoro’ opened on September 10 at the Museo Archeologico Provinciale in Potenza. Featuring the painting ‘Narcissus’ on loan from Rome, the event marks the first time the work has been presented in the Basilicata region.

Regional authorities are utilizing the exhibition as a component of broader strategies to bolster cultural and itinerant tourism. Alongside the art showcase, the region is promoting outdoor travel and heritage sites through participation in events like the Salone del Camper to encourage more even distribution of tourists throughout the year.
