National committee established to celebrate 2,500 years of Naples

Established the National Committee “Neapolis 2500” with the aim of celebrating the history, culture and art of Naples, as well as its contribution to the development of Italy’s historical and artistic heritage and the formation of Italian identity. This was established by the Council of Ministers in the context of the Omnibus Decree Law approved yesterday.

This initiative is part of the 25th centenary of the founding of ancient Neapolis by the Cumanians, which occurred, according to tradition, on Dec. 21, 475 B.C. The committee will be appointed by decree of the Minister of Culture, to be adopted within sixty days after the law decree comes into force.

“The birth of the ’Neapolis 2500’ National Committee is an initiative that I strongly desired, which was also advocated by the world of business, associations, culture and professions,” said Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano. “This is a fitting recognition of the history of Naples, a city that is one of the great cultural capitals of the world and has made an important contribution to all of humanity. Its great tradition deserves to be recognized on this significant anniversary by putting together a series of events and appointments that highlight the value of this city.”
