Italian projects

In the Region of Marche, museums, libraries and archives centres will celebrate the anniversary of the Italian Unification focusing on protagonists, pathways, methods and forms of the region’s cultural institutions in the past 150 years.

The Region of Tuscany is launching the Custodians of the Ark project asking museums to exhibit a number of private collections aimed at constructing an ideal ark of memories. It is also a new way of encouraging the ethics of collecting as a civil virtue.

In the town of Cesena (Emilia-Romagna) the ancient Biblioteca Malatestiana, included in the UNESCO Memory of the World Project, will join forces with the literary house museum dedicated to Renato Serra to bring documents to the public’s attention as the most precious tools for the country’s historical and cultural memory.
