First Adriatic Museums Network Launched by Pino Pascali Foundation

The Museo Fondazione Pino Pascali has launched the first cross-border Adriatic Museums Network as part of the AdriaWealth project, funded by the IPA Adriatic Cross-Border Cooperation Programme 2007-2013, led by Teatro Pubblico Pugliese in partnership with the Puglia Region. The network brings together museums from Albania, Croatia, Greece, Montenegro, Slovenia, and Italian Adriatic regions, aiming to foster collaboration, interdisciplinary approaches, and cultural exchange. Founding members include Museo Pino Pascali (Italy), Museo Civico di Corfù (Greece), Archivio Fotografico Marubi in Scutari (Albania), National Gallery of Arts in Tirana (Albania), and Museo del Mare di Pirano (Slovenia). The initiative seeks to improve service quality, promote innovative management, and stimulate technological innovation and economic growth. National representatives included Marcello Tagliente (MiBACT), Ludovico Pratesi, Vincenzo Tini D’Ignazio (Fondazione Menegaz, Castelbasso), Monica Gori (Museo Internazionale delle Ceramiche, Faenza), and Cristiana Colli (Demanio Marittimo.Km-278, Marzocca di Senigallia). The network plans to expand by welcoming additional museums and institutions.
