Culture has always been my food. Minister Sangiuliano's first statements

The new minister of culture, Gennaro Sangiuliano, chose to make his first statements as minister to the ADN Kronos news agency. “Culture,” Sangiuliano said, “has always been my food. I am proud to own a library of 15,000 books in my home and to have shared my knowledge with many students in my 20 years of teaching at the university.”

Sangiuliano first wanted to thank the Prime Minister, Giorgia Meloni, and the President of the Republic, Sergio Mattarella, declaring himself “most honored by this assignment that I will try to fulfill in the interest of the Republic.” The former director of TG2, the news program of the second RAI network whose interim direction, after being sworn in yesterday morning, went to deputy director Carlo Pilieci, called his new role “a great responsibility in which I will put all my commitment and concentration.”

“My motto,” the newly appointed minister finally concluded, “will be Giacomo Leopardi’s civil song ’To Italy,’ which begins, ’O patria mia, I see the walls and the arches and the columns and the simulacra and the herme towers of our ancestors, but glory I do not see.’”
