GAL LUCUS believes in a model of development that grows out of local communities and puts people first. We work in the heart of north-eastern Basilicata, bringing together 20 municipalities in a shared vision of sustainable, participatory growth.
The LUCUS Acronym
LUCUS stands for Luoghi, Culture e Sviluppo, Italian for Places, Cultures and Development: a pact with the land to safeguard the past and cultivate the future.
Beyond Managing Funds
GAL LUCUS is not just a body that awards funding but an engine of inter-territorial and transnational cooperation. Through projects such as "Basilicata Rurale" and by promoting "Village Hosts", we work to connect our roots with the best experiences in Europe.
We are a laboratory of good practice: proof that Italy's inner areas can become drivers of innovation and participation.
Serving the Local Area
The Local Development Agency
Through its Agency, GAL Lucus acts as a link between public bodies, businesses and citizens, offering free technical assistance and advice to develop projects, find sources of funding and start new businesses in Vulture-Alto Bradano.
