Italia Nostra criticizes Franceschini: "5 billion of Recovery to culture is just 2%"


From Italia Nostra applause but also criticism of Franceschini's words the day before yesterday. In particular, they do not like the allocation that the Recovery re-serves for culture: it is only 2 percent of the total.

Italia N ostra takes a stance on Culture Minister Dario Franceschini ’s speech the day before yesterday: Franceschini, speaking the day before yesterday at a joint hearing of the culture committees of the House and Senate, had outlined the programmatic lines of the new Ministry of Culture, and had listed the operations for culture envisaged in the draft Recovery Plan (5.6 billion of the total, which amounts to more than 200, will be allocated to culture, specifically).

The president of Italia Nostra, Ebe Giacometti, was quick to point out that Franceschini’s agenda has some points of contact with Italia Nostra’s, particularly with regard to the necessary expansion of the MiC’s staffing, currently in deficit by 6,700 out of about 18,000. Positive measures, for Italia Nostra, are also the Book Law and the Borghi Plan. The association also appreciated the idea, expressed by the Commission, of redeveloping the Franchi Stadium in Florence with Recovery resources.



It is precisely the resources, however, on which Italia Nostra’s criticism is focused. “It is regrettable,” Giacometti says, “the cut to 5 billion euros in the PNRR allocations, equal to only 2 percent of the entire amount earmarked for the revitalization of the country. Once again it leaves a bitter taste in the mouth to see that the many activities that gravitate to the Ministry are further penalized. Italia Nostra reiterates the need for the Recovery Plan to affirm the intangibility of the Landscape and the exercise of its protection, quickly recalled by the Minister in his communication. We reiterate that this matter is within his exclusive competence. However, the ’expedited’ bureaucratic procedures mentioned by Minister Cingolani make us fear a deregulation aimed at impoverishing Italy’s landscape heritage.”
