Patrizia Asproni criticizes Carlo Calenda's museum plan for Rome

Patrizia Asproni, president of Confcultura, criticizes Carlo Calenda's proposal for a museum program in Rome, arguing it lacks the cultural leadership the city deserves. She emphasizes that the pandemic has highlighted the need for effective leadership, and that a mayor must understand cultural processes, support the museum system, and implement pragmatic plans. Asproni warns against superficial approaches and stresses that a mayor's role is not to act as a 'Club Med organizer' but to guide strategic choices. She notes that the PNRR (National Recovery and Resilience Plan) offers an opportunity to change institutional culture, and candidates must not waste it. Asproni concludes by stating she does not vote in Rome.
