Roma launches Romarama cultural program amid institutional stability
Emiliano Paoletti, who leads the Deputy Mayor's office for cultural development in Rome, released an open letter on Artribune in support of the Romarama cultural initiative and Deputy Mayor Luca Bergamo amid the ongoing debate surrounding Giorgio De Finis and the RIF project at Macro Asilo. He emphasizes that Romarama is founded on four years of strategic planning and a three-year budget sanctioned by the administration. The program builds on the Festa di Roma and includes contracts with Zetema and Palaexpo (2020-2022), as well as initiatives like Eureka, Estate Romana, and Contemporaneamente Roma, along with projects for peripheral theaters. Paoletti commends cultural leadership, notes Luca Lo Pinto's recent appointment at MACRO, and advocates for cultural entrepreneurship and accessibility. He concludes by asserting that Romarama is timely and invites diverse contributions.
