Minister Sangiuliano signs five decrees for Major Cultural Heritage Projects: interventions throughout Italy

Minister of Culture Gennaro Sangiuliano signed five decrees for the “Great Cultural Heritage Projects” Strategic Plan. “The Great Cultural Heritage Projects,” said the minister, “are a fundamental stage in our work. We have managed to intervene on a very articulated set of assets of our splendid heritage. After a dense interlocution with the various territories, several sites in almost all Italian regions were chosen: from the Bellini Theater in Catania to the Oropa Sanctuary in Biella, from the Book Museum in Naples to the Foiba of Basovizza, from the archaeological park of San Casciano to the Roman villa in Positano. Just to name a few of the interventions. An action that makes it possible to concretize the idea of widespread protection and enhancement throughout the nation’s territory. Italy must be proud of its heritage, a global unicum in quality and quantity; we must take care of it and make it an opportunity for socioeconomic development.”

The Strategic Plan is divided into “Reprogramming financial resources,” “Programming residual resources year 2020,” “Programming residual resources year 2023,” “Programming additional resources year 2023,” and “Programming resources year 2024.”
