Sora withdraws call for unpaid retired museum director

The public selection announcement for the unpaid role of scientific director at the Museo della Media Valle del Liri in Sora, Frosinone, has been retracted by the municipality. This decision, made by mayor Luca Di Stefano and deputy mayor Maria Paola Gemmiti, outlined responsibilities such as promoting the museum and working with various authorities. The withdrawal was made public by ICOM on January 26, 2022, after institutions and civil society groups urged a reassessment. Established in 1979 and inaugurated in 2005, the museum provides educational insights into Sora's history, showcasing archaeological exhibits, contemporary art, and spaces for events and educational programs. This situation highlights the financial difficulties faced by cultural institutions in larger Italian cities like Sora.
