Franceschini: museums open on May 18? To be confirmed. And only those museums that can

On theopening of museums on May 18, there are still no certainties: this was made clear by Cultural Heritage Minister Dario Franceschini while speaking on the TV program Che tempo che fa hosted by Fabio Fazio on Rai 2.

The presenter asked Franceschini for confirmation of the possibility of seeing museums reopened on May 18, while stressing that it seems “almost absurd” to see museums open in a context where everything is closed, and therefore it would be an act of trust. “Even [reopening] the bookstores seemed an absurd act,” Franceschini responded, “yet we chose to open them because the book is an essential aspect of our lives. I think it will be to confirm this decision, but they will reopen the museums that will be able to open the safety prescriptions in access, in sanitation, in distances inside. There are four thousand museums in Italy, they will not reopen all of them, they will gradually reopen those that are able to do so.”
