"My dream? To make today's Italians feel equal to their past", said the Minister of Culture Gennaro Sangiuliano interviewed this morning on Sky Tg24.
"Opening culture to the participation of all Italians, who must feel they are the heirs of a great tradition, that of the Renaissance, of Humanism, of the Greek-Roman world, I am also thinking of law. In addition to material culture there is also the immaterial one. that we have to relaunch, literature, poetry, law in fact. I dream of returning to bring out all this in a path to be built stone by stone, trying to produce results ", added the minister, citing among his personal dreams the restoration of Palazzo Fuga in Naples, "a very important work that has been abandoned for many years".
"
On museums I think Italy is too generous.
We already have like today the first Sunday free every month.
The Louvre costs 17 euros, the Moma in New York which was previously free today costs 25 dollars, the Eiffel Tower costs more than the Pisa tower which I personally prefer.
Seeing the American billionaire get off the $ 100 million yacht, as it happens to me during the summer on vacation in Positano, and seeing them in a limousine go to visit Pompeii, an archaeological park unique in the world, I would say 17.50 euros they can spend "." Already we do not charge - continued Minister Sangiuliano - all young people of the European Union up to 18 years, then from 18 to 25 years old pay two euros, a fairly ridiculous amount, then as it is right and sacrosanct the disabled do not pay and then c '
it is a system of agreements for the elderly and with the municipalities, I would say that we Italians are already very generous "." The staff of the museums is currently underpowered compared to organic plants, something is already changing: there was a competition of 1052 almost all units hired, another 500 arrived from the placement lists and I hypothesize - said the Minister of Culture Gennaro Sangiuliano, speaking on Sky Tg24 - new competitions to be announced and fixed-term hires for the PNRR.
My commitment is to bring back or at least greatly increase the organic plant of museums by focusing above all on young people, who are digital natives and who have an important education from our universities that are also superior to other countries "."
