“It seems to me like a great battle of civilizations. The so-called cancel culture is a barbarism that means erasing identity and history. We are not subjects who just happened to be like this. Each of us has a collective DNA which is the history of our nation, of our culture.” Thus the Minister of Culture, Gennaro Sangiuliano, on the sidelines of his visit to Villa Floridiana in Naples, comments on the provision on ‘cancel culture’ which should end up in the Council of Ministers shortly.

From the president of Noi Moderati and member of the Supervisory Commission Maurizio Lupi “applause to the Minister of Culture Gennaro Sangiuliano for having introduced in the Tusmar a rule against Cancel Culture, a dangerous form of denialism, revisionism and cancellation of stories, identities, cultural symbols . A trend which, especially in the USA, is causing enormous cultural, historical and social damage, just think of the destruction of the statues of Christopher Columbus. The past must be historicized and not read with today’s categories. It seems trivial, but there are those who would claim to rewrite history starting from opinions and not from facts.”
