Museo Madre in Naples to host Covid vaccination center
The Museo Madre in Naples will host a Covid-19 vaccination center, offering vaccinated visitors free guided tours of its collections. The initiative, announced by newly appointed Fondazione Donnaregina president Angela Tecce, honors commitments made by previous management. Tecce, who succeeded Laura Valente, thanked Campania region president Vincenzo De Luca. She outlined future plans with artistic director Kathryn Weir, including virtual programming and a revised exhibition schedule, supported by the new board members Maria Letizia Magaldi and Achille Bonito Oliva. The museum follows similar moves by OGR Torino and Castello di Rivoli, which repurposed spaces for healthcare during the pandemic.
