Is it right to charge more for museums? Debate on Radio24

Is it fair to charge the public more to enter museums? Yesterday on Radio24, as part of the program Poche storie hosted by Simone Spetia, there was a debate on this issue. In fact, on this spring bridge weekend many people will travel to art cities and visit museums. Minister of Culture Gennaro Sangiuliano has from the very beginning expressed the idea that museums should cost more. Right or wrong? On the Radio24 program, the discussion is addressed, after the statements by the minister and Undersecretary Vittorio Sgarbi, by Claudia Ferrazzi, currently on the board of directors of the Venice Biennale, and former deputy administrator of the Louvre in Paris, at the head of the French Academy in Rome, and advisor to French President Emmanuel Macron precisely on culture issues; Federico Giannini, director of Finestre sull’Arte; and Tiziana Maffei, director Reggia di Caserta.
