But the competition for 1,052 museum assistants-what happened to it?

There has beenno more news about the competition for 1,052 reception, fruition and supervision assistants that the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism held last year: the competition had passed the first stage and the written tests were supposed to be held on April 24, but the Covid-19 health emergency had led MiBACT last March 19 to postpone it until a later date.

Candidates competing for one of the 1.052 positions destined for the dozens of museums scattered across the peninsula have thus been waiting six months to know their fate: and yet, now that all activities have resumed at full speed and almost everyone has returned to an almost normal situation, now that schools have reopened, now that one can even go to vote safely, one wonders what MiBACT is waiting for to reorganize and announce the new dates of the written tests, especially since just this morning, in an interview in the columns of Il Foglio, Cultural Heritage Minister Dario Franceschini lamented the problems arising from the serious staff shortage that prevents MiBACT from working at full speed.

“Between quota 100 and the advanced average age,” the minister said, “MiBACT suffers from a serious shortage of staff. If we don’t hire we will have to close museums and state archives.” Franceschini then lashed out against the “rhetoric that any hiring in the public administration is synonymous with cronyism and slackers.” “We have the need,” the minister added, “to bring into the ranks of the public administration tens of thousands of young graduates, competent and able to speak foreign languages.”

In short, if indeed “tens of thousands of young graduates” are to enter the ministerial ranks, it is also true that it will have to start somewhere: for example, by communicating as soon as possible the new dates of the competition, which more than three months after the end of the so-called lockdown still have not come out, and from Ripam Formez, the body in charge of organizing the competition, all is still silent. While there are thousands of people who should be planning their lives.
