“The commitment to keep the large museums and archaeological parks open on 26 December, 1 and 2 January was rewarded by a large participation of the public“. The Minister of Culture, Gennaro Sangiuliano, did not hide his satisfaction with the success of the initiative.
“It’s nice to see so many people rushing to appreciate our nation’s work. I thank the staff for this effort – adds Sangiuliano -. All this pushes us to do even better with a change in terms of quality in offering increasingly modern and efficient services. We will spend well and quickly those resources that the PNRR makes available to improve the museum system”.
