The Secretary General of MiBAC, as stated in the notice for the expression of interest aimed at selecting the two experts mentioned above, intends to carry out a “project for the enhancement of the ministerial headquarters” by promoting “the widest knowledge of the cultural heritage contained therein through the identification of visiting routes open to the public and the elaboration of information material concerning spaces, works and elements of historical, scientific, artistic and architectural interest.”

To read the notice, it is necessary to log on to the ministry’s website. And to think that last week, Minister Alberto Bonisoli had announced a crackdown on the misuse of volunteers. What to say. After all the controversy, the ministry has decided to cut it out by writing that it wants to award two positions for free: if nothing else, now at least it is clear... !
