Italian culture minister Dario
Franceschini on Tuesday signed a 20-million-euro decree for art
exhibitions that were cancelled, annulled, or postponed due to
the COVID-19 public health crisis. The money will come from an
emergency fund for cultural institutions and businesses. ''In
addition to the 150 million euros already authorised to support
state and private museums there are now an additional 20 million
euros to compensate for the losses suffered by exhibition
organisers. Through this decree, efforts continue to support
sectors of the world of art that are still going through a
difficult moment even in this relaunch phase,'' he noted.
