Sicily, free admission to all cultural sites on March 10 in tribute to Sebastiano Tusa

On Wednesday, March 10, on the occasion of Sicilian Cultural Heritage Day dedicated to the memory of Sebastiano Tusa, all museums, parks, galleries and institutes in Sicily will be open for free visits. It is necessary to book on the Youline platform and follow all anti-Covid measures.

The initiative established last year by the president of the region, Nello Musumeci, remembers the Sicilian archaeologist and regional councillor who died in the plane crash in Ethiopia on March 10, 2019: he was in Ethiopia for a UNESCO project. The free access day aims to promote Sicily’s cultural heritage.

“On the second anniversary of the tragic death of our dear Sebastiano, we consider this day a sign of rebirth, albeit in a period of great difficulty,” stressed the regional councillor for Cultural Heritage and Sicilian Identity, Alberto Samonà,“which the whole population and also the cultural sector is experiencing. This sign of hope seemed to us a fitting way to remember a man who spent his life for Sicily, for culture, for history.”

Last August, Sebastiano Tusa was named after Pantelleria’s new Museum of the Sea.
