“My first initiative as Undersecretary of the Ministry of Culture will be the defense of the landscape. To prevent Italy from being a land of conquest by the mafias, as has already happened in the South ”. This is the priority of the Undersecretary for Culture Vittorio Sgarbi, interviewed this morning by Italiaambiente on the sidelines of the 124th edition of Fieracavalli, at Veronafiere. “In this area, for example, someone wanted the horror of the wind turbines in Affi (VR), which are nothing more than the sign of the presence of the mafia in northern Italy. Even worse there is the photovoltaic on the ground in the agricultural field, capable of destroying the crops that instead must be defended, even in a relationship with Europe. Photovoltaics can be translated into the Elon Musk photovoltaic tiles that already exist, or it can be placed on the roofs of warehouses, industrial buildings and contemporary architecture, without destroying the agricultural culture. The landscape is a constitutional asset and an absolute value. It is necessary to regulate the usefulness of renewables in the places where they are compatible, because some landscapes have already been attacked in a definitive and deadly way “.
Then the Undersecretary pronounces on the recent controversy about the free access to places of culture. “One thing I wanted to say to my friend Minister Sangiuliano is that I am not for absolute gratuity. They are for free to citizens, who should not pay to enter the museums of their city. The tourist, on the other hand, does. We could balance: making the tourist pay a little more and not making the citizen pay, so that the museum goes there ”.
