Museo Ettore Fico in Turin closes after nearly twelve years

After almost twelve years of operation, the Museo Ettore Fico in Turin has shut its doors, concluding with a successful exhibition on Enrico Berlinguer that attracted thousands of attendees. The decision to close came from the private foundation that oversees the museum, prompted by the founder's desire to step back from management. Known for its role as a cultural center, the museum engaged the community through various exhibitions, including the Berlinguer project in collaboration with CGIL and the Fondazione Gramsci. The City of Turin is considering future possibilities, such as a public management model or a public-private partnership. Antonio Ledda, president of the Urban Planning Commission, emphasized the museum's significance for cultural identity and social unity. It showcased thousands of artworks, including pieces by Ettore Fico.
