The feast of the city’s patron saint, the Madonna della Bruna, celebrated on 2 July, embodies the sense of identity of the people of Matera, almost as if it constitutes the very emblem of the belonging to the city. The strong sense of belonging to the city has been renewed every year for centuries around this iconic festival, with the intention of repeating it even better the following year, according to the motto: Ammogghj ammogghj all’onn c’ vaen, that is, of good for better, see you next year!
