Museums, three-month extension of 1 euro ticket increase for flood damage

A€1 increase in the price of tickets for state museums, which had gone into effect last June 15 with the aim of raising funds to fix the damage caused by the flooding in Romagna in May, has been extended by three months, from Sept. 15 to Dec. 15. The extension of the measure was decided last night during the council of ministers: this was announced by Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano.

“The absolutely exceptional turnout of visitors to Italian museums will allow us to set aside important resources for the reconstruction of the artistic-cultural heritage of Emilia Romagna,” the minister said. “After the flood, the priority was to provide for people. Then, last July 10, I went to Forli and Cesena to personally realize the situation and for a careful assessment of the damage suffered to the artistic-cultural heritage. In recent days, with the Extraordinary Commissioner, Gen. C.A. Francesco Paolo Figliuolo, we began to define a timetable of work.”
