Onofrio Cutaia on the Future of Italy's National School of Cultural Heritage
In an interview with Artribune, Onofrio Cutaia, the newly appointed Commissioner of the Scuola nazionale del patrimonio e delle attività culturali and the incoming Assessore alla Cultura for Campania under Governor Roberto Fico, outlines the school's development and obstacles. Cutaia, who previously served as Director General for Contemporary Creativity, highlights the need to revise the school's statute and improve governance. Significant challenges involve executing the Decreto Cultura and adhering to a directive from Public Administration Minister Paolo Zangrillo, dated January 14, 2025, which mandates 40 hours of annual training for public employees. The Dicolab initiative has already issued over 100,000 open badges, surpassing the European goal of 30,000 by December 2025. Cutaia aims to focus on statute revision, securing a new headquarters, and bolstering training and research.
