The board of directors of Palaexpo,
the Rome authority responsible for managing the prestigious
Palazzo delle Esposizioni and Scuderie del Quirinale exhibition
centres, resigned on Tuesday little over a year after taking
office, accusing the city council of failing to meet its
financial obligations.
"This makes performing our activities impossible," wrote
board chairman Franco Bernabè and directors Claudia Ferrazzi,
Silvana Novelli, Claudio Strinati and Lorenzo Zichichi in their
letter of resignation.
Rome mayor Ignazio Marino appointed the board in March 2014
to relaunch Palazzo delle Esposizioni on Via Nazionale.
