DE-STATE CULTURE

Alessandro Giuli, Minister of Culture; Davide Rondoni, poet; Pierluigi Sacco, Professor of Cultural Economics, Università di Chieti-Pescara. Moderated by Irene Elisei, financial journalist, SkyTG24 and Value24

This debate centers on the urgent need to redefine Italy’s model of cultural support, often tied to public funding which, while essential, may not be sufficient to ensure sustainable growth in the sector. Key topics include the role of private patronage, cultural crowdfunding, tax incentives for creative enterprises, and the possibility of greater managerial autonomy for cultural institutions. The discussion takes place at a time of significant transformation for Italy’s cultural system: on one hand, the need for effective and widespread public support; on the other, the opportunity to explore innovative funding models that could make the sector more independent and resilient.
