The board of Turin's Egyptian
Museum on Monday backed the famed institute's director who has
come under fire from right wingers for offering discounts to
Arabic speakers.
The board, chaired by Evelina Christillin, voiced "solidarity
and full support for the management of the institution and the
cultural operations conducted since his appointment" by
Christian Greco.
"The management has shown it was able to transform the
Egyptian Museum into a great research body. At the same time
there have always been careful economic and management choices
and a particular sensitivity towards the public's use" of the
museum, the board said in a statement.
