La Luna al Guinzaglio is a cultural association which originated in 2002 in Potenza.
It arranges events, activities, seminars and workshops through which it looks into and experiments with the expressive potentialities and creativity of the human language. La Luna al Guinzaglio realizes its activities in accordance with the values of peace, brotherhood and harmony between man and the natural environment he is surrounded by. The association promotes the culture of dialogue, solidarity and integration in agreement with these values.
What la Luna al Guinzaglio is prioritising is to allow literally anyone to have accede to and use the various communicative modalities used by men. This association believes that the possibilities of integration and contact – made possible by language – are vital so as to enable the realization of the values which inspire them.

Basilicata Art Factory Project

artfactorybasilicata@gmail.com
This is a plan originated in 2006 and is being carried on by five Associations which are not only creative but also excellent organizers, such as Opera Prima (the Committee which promotes the Contemporary Art Museum in Basilicata), Orfeo Hotel contemporary art project (Contemporary art projects, photography, performances, public art and specific-site works of art), Cartoons (Audio-video expressions, comics and digital art), La Luna al Guinzaglio (Workshops, children’s theatre and exhibitions), Feedback-tragitti sonori (Contemporary and electronic music).
By means of a valid synergy between these five associations Art Factory is planning to create an identity which will be productive on the Lucanian territory and at the very same time active on an international level. This will be realized in a place where art can be offered, planned and produced for the public through creative workshops and the theatre, literature, design, music, cinema and contemporary art events.
The market and sources of income
The Basilicata Region Authority, A.A.T.O-1 (the Potenza Optimal Territorial Authority), Municipalities, Social Cooperatives, Schools, Provincial Councils, the Alto Basento Mountain Community and Training Centres.
Problems and drawbacks to development
We think that the lacks of premises which are necessary for the preliminary phases of a work (exhibitions, performance, etc…) is a strong limit to the associations’ planning skills. Furthermore, the imprudent public financing management and the lack of external entrepreneurial financing does not help the territory to growth.
