Speaking live on Sebastiano Barisoni’s Focus Economia space on Radio 24, Venice Mayor Luigi Brugnaro said yesterday that the lagoon city is ready to open all city museums on April 24 and 25.

“We are ready to open all the city’s museums on Saturday and Sunday, April 24 and 25,” he commented, hoping and urging the government to reopen cultural venues after closures due to restrictive measures caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

"We will reopen activities in a staggered manner, including restaurants, but let’s start with museums with due precautions,“ he added. ”We are now in the orange zone, but with the data I see we can move to yellow." With the transition to yellow zone in fact, according to decree, museum venues could reopen.

Regarding restaurants, he commented, “You have to open the businesses, not everything of course, however, the outdoor restaurants, those are. Where we are ready to be able to open, we will open in Venice. And it would be a signal to reopen on April 24 and 25. We will see if we are accommodated. Eventually we will postpone another week, May 1 and 2.”
