Michael Coppola, Executive Director of Art, Culture and Historical Heritage of Intesa Sanpaolo and Director of the Gallerie d'Italia, declares: «Cultural heritage is a vital element for our country because, in addition to representing roots and history, it is a precious resource for professional growth and an opportunity for the future. In particular for the first Italian bank, in a logic of conscious assumption of social responsibility, it is important to share the experience of managing owned museums, together with the art collections, making the most of the skills acquired over the years. After the appreciation gathered from the previous editions, we are giving continuity to the project also in 2023 in full harmony with our partners, with the aim of giving young professionals in the sector updated content and tools and new reasons to think about their work.» .
“We are particularly proud to have contributed, since its first edition, to the conception and implementation of the Advanced Training Course promoted by Intesa Sanpaolo. This important project - he claims Alessandra Vittorini, Director of the School of Cultural Heritage and Activities Foundation – profoundly reflects the vision of the Foundation, constantly engaged in creating connections between the public and private systems. In this sense, the training of operators in the private sector is a key element so that the entire cultural system – typically characterized by a plurality of subjects, responsibilities and prerogatives – can function as an orchestra, as a connected and productive network of exchanges and relationships, for the benefit of the country's economic and social development processes with a cultural matrix"
