Art and sustainability: 16 projects of the Ministry of Culture

The piece that was missing is now there. The State-Regions Conference shared the Ministry of Culture's plan for 16 site regeneration projects or the new creation of structures. With an endowment of 57,4 million euro starts the "Large Cultural Heritage Projects" Strategic Plan with a strong environmental content. The synthesis between the recovery of the artistic heritage and sustainability is part of the country's rebirth plan after years of low investments. Franceschini's Ministry is now a valid ally on the road to restarting. The money will be spent both in the North and in the South and this was highlighted by Franceschini himself in announcing the works after having obtained the latest authorizations from the Regions and from the Superior Council of Cultural Heritage.

“There are sixteen interventions – he said – which extend from Northern to Southern Italy and are of interest state, municipal and private property, including small and large municipalities and Unesco sites. These are projects and construction sites that contribute to the recovery and birth of important realities of the national cultural heritage and which support the development and economic recovery of the country. The figure of sustainability and urban impacts characterizes the entire Project which not only reopens the financial flows towards the Italian cultural heritage, but recognizes culture "with great potential for lead climate action and sustainable development which can significantly contribute to solutions for the climate”, as reported in the final document of the G20 on Culture in Rome.https://media.beniculturali.it/mibac/files/boards/be78e33bc8ca0c99bff70aa174035096/PDF/DichiarazioneFinale_G20_ITA.pdf.
