Ultra-right school away from Certosa di Trisulti: for MiBAC lacks requirements for concession

The Dignitatis Humanae Institute (DHI) foundation, the ultra-right-wing school that had taken up residence for some time in the Certosa di Trisulti, in Ciociaria, Italy, will no longer be allowed to occupy the thirteenth-century monastery located near Collepardo (Frosinone): this has been ruled by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities, according to which DHI, the foundation close to Steve Bannon that promotes ultra-right ideals and allegedly opened a training school in the Certosa, does not have the requirements to occupy the building. Thus, the great mobilization that has been asking MiBAC for months to review the criteria by which the concession was awarded to DHI has won.

“The inspections ordered by the Mibac at the Certosa di Trisulti,” reads an official note from Undersecretary for Cultural Heritage Gianluca Vacca, “have highlighted strong elements of criticality. We sent all the documentation acquired to theAvvocatura Generale dello Stato for an opinion, which was sent to us two days ago and according to which there are all the prerequisites to proceed with the revocation of the concession of the Charterhouse to the Dignitatis Humanae Institue association. Consequently, we immediately initiated liter.”

The findings showed, Vacca added, that the DHI “did not have recognition of legal personality; did not have among its statutory purposes the carrying out of activities for the protection, promotion, enhancement or knowledge of cultural and landscape heritage; did not have a documented experience of at least five years in the field of collaboration for the protection and enhancement of cultural heritage; did not have a documented experience in the management, in the five years prior to the publication of the notice, of at least one cultural property, public or private, with certification by the territorially competent superintendence of adequate maintenance and opening to public use.”

But that’s not all: MiBAC understands that, moreover, DHI has been in default of its obligation to pay the concession fee, its obligations of ordinary and extraordinary maintenance, and its obligations of custody and supervision. “Proceeding with the revocation,” Vacca concludes, “is therefore a due act. Political opinions have nothing to do with it; we are concerned with respect for legality and the protection of the national cultural heritage, of which the Charterhouse is obviously a part. I just remember that the concession is dated February 14, 2018, so the whole procedure of entrustment was initiated, followed and finalized under the previous government. When we arrived, in June 2018, the games were already played.”
