Italian Museums Threatened for Supporting Green Pass

Italian museums are facing threats and insults after supporting the government's decision to require the Green Pass for entry starting August 6. The measure, which denies access to unvaccinated individuals, is seen as a cultural and symbolic stance rather than a purely epidemiological one. Museums, which are safe, spacious, and meticulously controlled, have been targeted by anti-vaccine activists. Minister of Culture Dario Franceschini is urged to intervene to protect cultural institutions. The Reggia di Caserta and other museums have taken a pro-vaccine position, prompting backlash. The policy aims to encourage vaccination by restricting access to cultural venues, highlighting the role of museums in promoting public health.
