Antonio Marroccoli

Although Antonio is not a native of Matera, he has lived in Matera for many years and feels he is from Matera. He is president of the Confesercenti trade association and has been working for years to improve the working conditions of Matera's street vendors. In fact, he is planning, together with other artisans and dialogue with local key players, the adoption of wooden cottages throughout the year. He has been working stone for 10 years, is now 37 years old, and learned to do it completely self-taught.
