Crowdfunding campaign launched for MAST museum in Castel Goffredo
A new crowdfunding initiative has been launched to support the completion of the MAST museum in Castel Goffredo, a picturesque town close to Brescia. Spanning 1,000 square meters, the museum will feature two distinct museums, an archive, and both ancient and modern libraries on land provided by the local Parish of Sant'Erasmo. The facility will showcase a variety of cultural artifacts, including historic sculptures and 17th-century relics. While partial funding is secured from Fondazione Cariplo, an additional one million euros is needed. The campaign, started in December on Innamorati della Cultura, aims to initially raise 30,000 euros, offering rewards for significant contributions.
