Culture, here are the three undersecretaries of the Meloni government: Sgarbi, Borgonzoni and Mazzi

The first Council of Ministers of the Meloni government has just concluded in which the list of undersecretaries was also launched. As many as three undersecretaries go to culture, a number shared only with the Ministry of the Interior and the Ministry of Economy. The three undersecretaries are Vittorio Sgarbi, Lucia Borgonzoni and Gianmarco Mazzi.

Vittorio Sgarbi, a native of Ferrara, born in 1952, is a well-known figure even outside the cultural milieu: an art historian and critic, a television personality, as well as a longtime politician, he has already served as undersecretary for cultural heritage between 2001 and 2002, during the second Berlusconi government, when minister of culture was Giuliano Urbani. For Sgarbi, therefore, it is a return exactly 20 years later.

For Lucia Borgonzoni, from Bologna, born in 1976, it is a confirmation: she was in fact outgoing undersecretary for culture in the Draghi government. For her, it is the third time in the same role: she had also been undersecretary with the Conte I government, between June 2018 and September 2019, with Minister Alberto Bonisoli. A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, she is the daughter of architect Giambattista Borgonzoni and granddaughter of painter Aldo. She worked as an interior designer before devoting herself completely to politics among the ranks of the League, a party with which she has been a card-carrying member since 1992. As undersecretary, she dealt mainly with cinema and live entertainment.

The absolute novelty is Gianmarco Mazzi, from Verona born in 1960, a manager and business executive (he is CEO of the Arena di Verona company), as well as a television author: he will be the undersecretary in the quota of Fratelli d’Italia, the party with which he was first elected deputy in the just concluded elections. His career has all taken place in the entertainment and television spheres: he is known for having been manager of several artists (including Adriano Celentano and Francesco Baccini), for having started the Nazionale Italiana Cantanti project, and for having promoted numerous record initiatives.
