Musumeci, in Sicily the saddest museums cemetery at midnight – Entertainment

(ANSA) – PALERMO, DEC 29 – “Our museums are sadder than a cemetery at midnight. It is a shameful situation. They have not been modernized for at least 20 years. With the commissioner Samonà we went to the museum in Agrigento and on 80 bulbs 37 were electrocuted “. The president of the Sicilian Region Nello Musumeci told reporters during the traditional exchange of end-of-year greetings at Palazzo d’Orleans, in Palermo. “We have allocated 24 million – he added – to modernize nine regional museums, the competition has not yet been held after two years. As soon as the works are contracted out, the museums will be worthy of the name, for example the birthplace of Pirandello. There were no toilets, the disabled could not go to the first floor, there were 18 steps. It had a gloomy appearance – underlined Musumeci – 20 employees and no one who could speak in a foreign language. I had it closed and recovered a project and adding resources, we have reopened it with all the trappings. There are services for the disabled, indications and all the rest. On cultural heritage – observed the President of the Region – we need to change the register, just self-referentiality. We need able people to bring millions of visitors. This land will never change if no one goes against the tide, we should be a European model “. (HANDLE).
