Northern League-M5S, government contract closed. Line on cultural heritage as a tool for tourism development confirmed

Thus, it will be a government action under the banner of cultural assets considered because of their tourism potential. In the evening, the Northern League and the 5 Star Movement gave the green light to the latest draft that should anticipate the final draft: the knots that the two leaders, Matteo Salvini and Luigi Di Maio, have yet to solve were colored. No highlighting for cultural goods: thus the line that could be read in the draft circulated yesterday by the Huffington Post appears to be confirmed. Below is the final text:

"Italian heritage represents one of the aspects that most identify us in the world. Our country is filled with artistic and architectural riches scattered evenly throughout the territory, and in every field of art we represent a world-class excellence, be it dance, cinema, music, theater. However, in spite of these resources Italy today does not take full advantage of its possibilities, in some cases leaving its assets and cultural heritage in the condition of not being properly valued.

Cultural heritage is a fundamental tool for the development of tourism throughout Italy as well as to citizen education in continuity with our identity. However, the state cannot limit itself to just preserving the heritage, but must enhance it and make it usable through effective systems and models, and through careful management and better cooperation between public and private entities. Measures need to be put in place that can protect the asset in the long run, making virtuous use of available resources.

It is necessary to start from a clear principle: culture is an invaluable engine of growth, and certainly not an unnecessary cost. To cut in a linear and unreasoned way the spending to be allocated to our heritage, whether artistic or cultural, means considerably reducing the possibilities of increasing the wealth, including economic wealth, of our territories.

Our Museums, historical, archaeological and UNESCO sites must once again become poles of attraction and international interest, through an overall increase in usability and adequate improvement of services offered to visitors.

Among the various forms, of art, live performance undoubtedly represents one of the best excellences of our country. Yet the current system of funding, determined by the subdivision according to criteria that are not entirely objective of the resources present in the Single Fund for the Performing Arts (FUS), limits the possibilities of our best realities and prevents the development of new projects that are truly deserving. We therefore believe it is necessary to envisage a reform of the funding system that puts the quality of artistic projects back at the center."
