Surprise for Franceschini: Stephen King compliments on Culture Bonus

Once again this year, new 18-year-olds will be able to take advantage of the Culture Bonus, which is a contribution of 500 euros to be spent on books, music, cinema, theater, museums, dance, monuments and parks, cultural events, music, theater or foreign language courses, and audiovisual publishing products. And new in this edition, also in newspaper subscriptions.

This was announced by the Ministry of Culture: the new edition of 18app, this is the name of the initiative, will start from April 1, and children born in 2002 can register at the appropriate site www.18app.italia.it until August 31, 2021 to receive the Culture Bonus. It is possible to spend the amount by Feb. 28, 2022.

The initiative was created in 2016 with the intention of bringing young people closer to culture. To register, you only need to apply for your digital identity (SPID) and log in through the site to be able to take advantage of the digital wallet with a 500-euro credit to be spent exclusively on the above-mentioned goods by the deadline.

The surprise this morning for Culture Minister Dario Franceschini came with a tweet from writer Stephen King who, complimenting the initiative, wrote: “A culture bonus! Now there, ladies and gentleman, boys and girls, is a CIVILIZED IDEA!” And Franceschini thanked.
