Government raises museum tickets: proceeds for flood damage

A temporary increase in museum tickets to deal with the damage caused by the flooding in Emilia Romagna, particularly the damage suffered by cultural property. This is one of the measures adopted by the Meloni government in a decree-law containing urgent interventions to cope with the emergency caused by the flood events that occurred starting May 1, 2023.

“Minister of Culture Sangiuliano,” said Council Speaker Giorgia Meloni, “provides for a temporary one-euro increase in entrance fees to museums: the proceeds that will come from this measure will be used to secure and restore cultural assets that were affected by the flood.”

The surcharge will be one euro, will affect all state museums , and will be in effect from June 15 to Sept. 15, 2023, with the provision that the increased proceeds will be used to protect and rebuild cultural heritage and to support cultural and entertainment workers in the affected areas. Overall, the decree-law allocates more than 2 billion for flood-affected areas.
