New York – The Basilicata Region brings its nativity scene tradition in New York with a piece created by artist Franco Artese. The nativity scene will be on display until January 6 in the St. Patrick’s Cathedral, located right across from Rockefeller Center, the heart of Christmas in New York. The sacred representation is inspired by the Basilicata landscape and in particular the uniqueness of Matera and its stones, UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site and European Capital of Culture for 2019.
