Three New Directors Appointed to Major Museums in Italy's Marche Region

The Marche Regional Museums Directorate has appointed three new directors to lead its most visited sites: Stefano Brachetti at the Rocca Demaniale di Gradara, Alessandra Pacheco at the Rocca Roveresca di Senigallia, and Diego Voltolini at the Museo Archeologico Nazionale delle Marche. Brachetti, an architect, has worked for the Ministry of Culture since 2000, previously at Castel Sant'Angelo in Rome and the Lazio Museum Pole, and most recently as Promotion and Communication Officer at the Galleria Nazionale delle Marche in Urbino. Pacheco, also an architect, served as an architect officer at the Superintendence of Archaeology, Fine Arts and Landscape of the Marche. Both rocche were previously directed by Cecilia Carlorosi, now Superintendent for Pesaro-Urbino and Ancona provinces, who received thanks for her work. Voltolini, an archaeologist from the same Superintendence, takes over from Nicoletta Frapiccini, who continues to direct the Museo Archeologico Statale di Urbisaglia and the Antiquarium Statale di Numana, where a new museum layout is underway. The Marche Regional Museums Directorate also includes the Museo Tattile Statale Omero, the Museo Archeologico Statale di Arcevia (directed by Claudia Casavecchia), the Museo Archeologico Statale di Ascoli Piceno and the Museo Archeologico Statale di Cingoli (both directed by Sofia Cingolani), and the Antiquarium Statale di Numana and the Museo Archeologico Statale di Urbisaglia (both directed by Nicoletta Frapiccini).
