Culture Minister Gennaro Sangiuliano did not like the fact that many Ministry directors took a day off the day before yesterday, Monday, April 24, in view of the April 25 holiday. And so he wrote a letter of rebuke delivered to everyone (and anticipated by Dagospia), both to those who took their vacation and those who stayed at work instead. A missive with which the owner of the Roman College pointed out, even with a certain irony, that directors cannot take the luxury of going on vacation just when people flock to the places of culture, and with which he invited everyone to a working lunch for the upcoming Ferragosto day. Just when perhaps so many of the letter’s recipients imagined themselves soaking in some beach resort.
“Dear Directors,” the minister wrote, “I found that many of you, with a few commendable exceptions, were on vacation on Monday, April 24, the bridge day toward Liberation Day. Without prejudice to the fact that vacations are an intangible right, I would like to point out to you that the peculiarity of our Ministry, whose activities are particularly reflected precisely on these holidays, would suggest a punctual presence precisely on these days.”
“To put it bluntly, it is as if the Police Force goes on vacation when the city empties for the summer vacations.”
“On this occasion, I would like to preannounce that on August 15, next, at 1 p.m., you are all invited to my place for a working lunch.”
“This is a welcome opportunity to extend cordial greetings.”
Sangiuliano's dickering to directors: too many on vacation for the bridge. And he schedules meeting at mid-August |
