Bevilacqua La Masa board candidates need only high school diploma
The Comune di Venezia has published a call for candidates for the board of directors of Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa and Istituzione Bosco e Grandi Parchi. The new board will be reduced from seven to three members, all appointed solely by the mayor. The only mandatory requirement is a high school diploma. The move follows a city council decision not to abolish the century-old institution but to overhaul its governance. Critics question whether such minimal qualifications are appropriate for managing a cultural institution. The deadline for applications is September 2.
