“Great turnout at Easter and Easter Monday” –

The Minister of Culture, Gennaro Sangiuliano, commented on the first provisional data on Easter and Easter Monday admissions to the main Italian sites: “Even in these Easter and Easter Monday holidays there were many Italians and tourists from all over the world who visited visited and admired the extraordinary beauty of Italy’s cultural heritage. A result that confirms the choice to keep all our museums and archaeological parks open and represents a further push to increasingly increase the quality of our cultural offering. My profound thanks go to all the workers who, even today, have ensured the openness and welcome of visitors to the nation’s cultural sites”.
