Valentina Tanni Appointed to Board of Rome's Quadriennale Foundation
On November 23, 2020, Italian Culture Minister Dario Franceschini appointed Valentina Tanni to the board of directors of the Fondazione La Quadriennale di Roma. This decision adds to a previous decree from August 12, 2019, which designated Fabio Mongelli and Lorenzo Micheli Gigotti as representatives for MiBACT and the Lazio Region. Tanni will work alongside President Umberto Croppi and Honorary President Franco Bernabè. Croppi remarked that her inclusion finalizes the representation from MiBACT, the Lazio Region, and Rome. The foundation manages the Quadriennale d'arte exhibition and recent projects such as Q-RATED and Q-INTERNATIONAL. Tanni, an art historian and curator, is known for her expertise in art and technology, having founded Random Magazine and co-founded Artribune, while also teaching at Politecnico di Milano and NABA Rome.
