“Conserving and preserving our artistic heritage, as required by article 9 of the Constitution, costs a lot. So it is good that we begin moderately to charge our beauties. It is right that these goods are paid for. The example ofentrance fee for the Pantheon will also be followed for other monuments“. Said the Minister of Culture Gennaro Sangiuliano, guest of the ‘Mattino Cinque’ program broadcast on Canale 5. However, the holder of the dicastery in via del Collegio Romano recalled “that we have a very large free extension and that we dedicate a Sunday free access to all museums once a month. On Sundays I added three symbolic dates in national history: April 25th, June 2nd and November 4th. We recognize a kind of very large and extensive museum welfare.”
The minister then returned to the admission fee for the Pantheonemphasizing that it is the “most visited museum site in Italy”, registering about “9 million visitors. We made an agreement with the Curia of Rome recognizing them 30%. The rest, with a ticket of just 5 euros, we confiscate and allocate it to the care, improvement and protection of the property” . Will the example of the Pantheon be followed by other monuments? “I think so, absolutely yes. After all, if you go in France or in other parts of the world legitimately everything is paid because costs must be incurred in order to protect and preserve the assets”.
