The Collegio Romano, or the headquarters of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, will be open to the public.

The Collegio Romano, or the headquarters of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage in the very center of Rome, will be opened for public visits. This was announced in a note from the MiBAC itself, from which we learn that a working group has been set up at the General Secretariat, ready to define routes and methods for opening the architectural complex to the public.

“The enhancement of cultural heritage,” the statement reads, “also entails opening to the public the headquarters of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities, namely the imposing seventeenth-century architectural complex of the Collegio Romano, on the street of the same name in the center of Rome, at number 27. This is also a useful way to bring citizens closer to the institutions and make better known the places where important decision-making processes in the field of cultural heritage and activities take place. In this regard, in fact, the Ministry of Heritage and Cultural Activities has established a Working Group aimed at identifying possible initiatives for the use and enhancement of spaces, works and elements of historical, scientific, artistic and architectural interest present in the Palace of the Roman College, designing paths of opening to the public. In this context is included the preliminary initiative aimed at the fruition and valorization of spaces of the General Secretariat and the General Budget Directorate, located on the third floor of the building, in which have been placed certain works by Italian authors received on gratuitous loan for one year from the National Gallery of Modern Art. These works not previously exhibited to the public and placed in the deposits of the aforementioned museum will be able to be enjoyed on the occasion of both meetings and institutional gatherings with public and private entities and international delegations, as well as fall within the routes of opening to the public under the terms formulated by the aforementioned Working Group.”

The building, attributed to Bartolomeo Ammannati but probably the work of Giuseppe Valeriano, will become accessible to visitors once the team has established routes and modalities.
