Dario Franceschini confirmed by Draghi government: it will be called "Ministry of Culture"

Dario Franceschini will be the Draghi government’s culture minister. Prime Minister Mario Draghi announced the formation of the government team a short while ago. For Franceschini, therefore, the second term as holder of the Roman College continues. At this link a summary of this year and a half at MiBACT after the second appointment.

The main change is that the Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism will simply be called the "Ministry of Culture." A special Ministry of Tourism with a portfolio will subsequently be created for tourism: the minister will be Massimo Garavaglia of the League, formerly deputy minister of Economy and Finance in the Conte I government.

“Thank you to President Mattarella and President Draghi,” Franceschini declared warmly. “I will try to honor the trust as best I can, working so that Italian culture is the engine of the country’s restart. Right choice a ministry only for Tourism, so affected by the crisis. Good work to Massimo Garavaglia.”

Tourism is thus again separated from culture as had happened in 2018 with the Conte I government, when, however, it was merged with Agriculture. Below is the composition of the government.
