Stefano Parisi on Culture for Milan Mayoral Race
In an interview with Artribune, Stefano Parisi, the centre-right candidate for Milan's mayoral position, unveiled his cultural agenda ahead of the 2016 run-off. A resident of Milan since 1997, Parisi has experience in public administration and previously served as CEO of Fastweb. He criticized the current administration for its lackluster proposals and advocated for the opening of art deposits, digitization of collections, reforming civic museums, and appointing a director for the Museo del Novecento. Parisi aims to improve artist spaces, back street art initiatives, and convert municipal museums into private foundations. He commended the Artline Milano program but called for increased representation of Italian artists and intends to rejuvenate the Via Ventura gallery district while supporting pedestrian zones and affordable creative spaces.
