Queues at museums for October's free Sunday. Franceschini: beautiful to see the lines, today is a popular holiday

It is a very radiant Dario Franceschini who comments on the outcome of the first free Sunday after the long spring and summer break: the former minister of cultural heritage, Alberto Bonisoli, with one of the first measures of his mandate, had in fact introduced the suspension of free Sundays from April to September, concentrating, however, a week of free admission in the month of March. The first free Sunday after a six-month fast was therefore particularly felt in almost all museums in Italy, in front of which long lines formed at the entrance.

Cultural Heritage Minister Franceschini said he was satisfied with the result: “Culture must be for everyone,” he commented as he greeted the success of the public. “Really beautiful to see the lines in front of all museums from the largest to the smallest; to see families return to discover Italy’s cultural heritage. It is a demonstration that culture must be for everyone. Today is a beautiful popular celebration.”
