Franceschini: "culture is among the pillars of Mario Draghi's agenda"

Culture will be one of the pillars of new Prime Minister Mario Draghi’sagenda. This was stated this morning by the Minister for Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism, Dario Franceschini, commenting on the announcement of the premier’s programmatic statements in the Senate (his first speech in Parliament as prime minister). Draghi stated, in particular, that Italy is a “great economic and cultural power,” although he never made any reference specifically to the culture sector (he did, however, speak of tourism, indicating the need to follow new models).

“President Draghi’s reminder of Italy’s role as a great cultural power,” Franceschini said, “clearly indicates what the government’s orientation will be in this difficult situation, as do the indications to the duty to promote culture along with training and education; to the need for greater awareness of our cultural primacy; to the appropriateness of investing in cultural transition starting from the humanistic identity heritage, equal access to environmental education, land maintenance and the ability to preserve and protect art cities, places and traditions as the key to sustainable economic growth.”
