Needless to say, most of the income the heritage generates goes to paying the wages of personnel. Finally, after months of debate, on Dec. 19 Culture Minister Dario Franceschini signed into law a decree to relaunch the heritage sites with more help from private sources.

Vorrei poter rubare dal copione di Eduardo la frase di Luca Cupiello: “Questo Natale si presenta come Dio comanda”.
