Minister Sangiuliano's August business lunch: here's who was there

He had announced this after the April 25 bridge, and he was true to his word. Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano, during the spring holidays, had issued a harsh reprimand against the many ministry executives who had gone on vacation for the bridge, and he had invited them all to a working lunch for 1 p.m. today, August bank holiday. And so it was: the minister held the meeting he had announced in the letter of reprimand sent to all the executives. Where it was said, in essence, that while vacation time is an intangible right, it would be the case that those who work in culture should not leave their workplaces on the days that the public prefers to visit cultural institutions.

That said, a meeting was held today at 11 a.m. at the Ministry of Culture, followed by a light breakfast hosted by Sangiuliano. Who was there? Present were Undersecretaries Gianmarco Mazzi and Vittorio Sgarbi, Secretary General Mario Turetta, Director General Mission Unit for the Implementation of the PNRR Angelantonio Orlando, Director General Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape Luigi La Rocca, Director General Libraries and Copyright Paola Passarelli, Director General Budget Paolo D’Angeli, the general director Cinema and Audiovisual Nicola Borrelli, the general director Museums Massimo Osanna, the general director Organization Marina Giuseppone, the general director Entertainment Antonio Parente, the general director Education and Research Andrea De Pasquale, the special superintendent Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape of Rome Daniela Porro, the director of the Archaeological Park of the Colosseum Alfonsina Russo, the director of the National Roman Museum Stéphane Verger, director of the VIVE - Vittoriano and Palazzo Venezia Edith Gabrielli, director of the Galleria Borghese Francesca Cappelletti, director of the Pinacoteca di Brera James Bradburne.

What was discussed? For the time being, it is not known: in a note, the Ministry said only that “during the meeting, which was long and articulate and lasted more than two hours, all those present took the floor and individually illustrated, each for his or her area of expertise, also the work to be carried out in the coming months and proposals on the merits.” The minister also posted on his social channels a video, however without audio. We will see if more details emerge about the August meeting.
