Dario Colacicco
Born in 1990, Dario Colacicco, originally from Apulia, got to know Matera while attending the local classical high school, where he graduated. Since then, the bond with the city has never been severed. His studies led him to pursue legal studies, which did not prove to be the right path, leading him to take over his father's business, agriculture, an activity he continues to pursue with passion and dedication. At the same time, since 2015, he has been interested in the world of digital communication, starting to work in the field of cultural communication and collaborating on music, film, theatre and art projects. From 2017 to 2019 she is responsible for communication for the IAC - Integrated Arts Centre, dealing in particular with the Nessuno Resti Fuori festival and the Matera Città Aperta project, part of the Matera 2019 cultural programme. From 2018 to 2020 she is in charge of communication for the project Architecture of Shame, by the collective Architecture of Shame, also part of the cultural programme of Matera European Capital of Culture 2019. From September 2019 and until the end of 2020, she is in charge of communication for Open Design School, for which among others she is in charge of the project So far so close, a performing arts festival to rethink the scenic act in view of the pandemic period.
At the same time, together with a group of contemporaries who had returned to the city due to the momentum and ferment of Matera 2019, he worked on the foundation of a contemporary art museum, the TAM - Tower Art Museum, a museum that saw the light of day in December 2022, with a programme of artistic residencies and original museum productions, and a project linked to events, books, and workshops. In 2024, he returned to collaborate with the Matera 2019 Foundation, again in the communication area, following the AIRFARE, Podcast Academy, and Digitare Cultura projects.
