Minister Sangiuliano and the “Italian” trap

The Minister of Culture Gennaro Sangiuliano closed himself in institutional secrecy, as it would have been said in the past and above all for other governments, after the news, or non-news, perhaps perhaps a leak filtered on Repubblica according to which the owner of the Roman College would be preparing a coup, a sovereign disfigurement to our system of museums. The opinion of the minister (and of his deputy Vittorio Sgarbi) on the linguistic skills and the Italian-speaking of the directors was, moreover, already known. But now, according to the Republic, Sangiuliano would have given indications to the appointees who are preparing the tenders to choose the future directors of the national museums (and the top figures of other bodies dependent on the ministry) of make the rule of perfect knowledge of Italian more stringent. Yet another nationalist attack on “foreign” cultural hegemony.
