CUTS TO CULTURE, FROM NORTH TO SOUTH BOW RESIGNATION



The world of Italian culture is dying. The cuts made by the Berlusconi government has exceeded its limit and some people there is more. Some people say enough and do not want to become complicit in this mess. The damage that Berlusconi and Tremonti's Italy and Italians are doing has exceeded the threshold of decency. From North to South rained resign, if the Minister Sandro Bondi presented them is right for him to leave because it was unable to protect the Ministry of Culture in the face of the barbarity of his fellow snacks. But from Rome to Milan and now in Catania for the resignation of the decent people are a serious indictment of this government. In recent days, has resigned Andrea Carandini, President High Council for Cultural appointed two years ago by Bondi. "I resign because of the inability of the Ministry to carry out that work of development and protection of cultural heritage because of the massive progressive reduction of the budget," he said in reviewing the irrevocable resignation.
The day before yesterday came the resignation of Sergio Escobar, director of the Piccolo Teatro di Milano: "With sadness and bitterness we see clumsy and ground maneuvers lobbyists who are shipwrecked in the results of milleproroghe and humiliating to run for public gestures blatant not to disappear by the attention - he denounced Escobar - gestures which regularly follow real slap in the face as the last mockery of the other 77 million cut after dark had already taken away 160 million. "Escobar will present his resignation to the Board of Directors of the Little Tuesday. And, almost hand in hand, arrived in Catania for the resignation of fashion designer Marella Ferrera, by Councillor for Culture of the town of Etna for "lack of proper tools to continue and finish the projects started because of cuts made to the Culture." Resignation sent to the mayor Raffaele Stancanelli.
And in all this malaise that involves Italy from the Alps Madonie to the Minister of Defense Ignazio La Russa, speaking on the resignation of the Minister Sandro Bondi has had the courage to declare during transmission Door to door, "I hope that Bondi change your mind, we must not be ungenerous to him that he found the fruit of 60 years of neglect. "With this remark the Minister La Russa has once again lost sight of reality. A situation that is crying with a loud voice from north to south, which is that this government is killing the Italian culture. What is this Government that the Finance of the last two years has emptied the FUS (base unit for the show). What is this government that is an extreme and destroying a system that has made the ' Italy and that is known and appreciated throughout the world.
The money missing, perhaps it is true, but how to know how to squander the Berlusconi government is a champion: the waste of € 350 million to carry out the referendum in a given different from that of the local elections is there to confirm it. And in this case is primarily responsible, the Northern League minister Roberto Maroni.

Culture, resigned Carandini against a government that only knows how to make cuts


Prato - President of the High Council of Cultural Property, Andrea Carandini, has tendered his resignation to the minister Bondi firm that had appointed him in that role February 25, 2009. Professor Carandini has motivated the resignation to "the inability of the Ministry to carry out that work of development and protection of cultural heritage because of the massive progressive reduction of the budget." And before you add other considerations should be noted that Professor Carandini was in turn nominated instead of resigning Settis Savior who had left for the complete disagreement on the management and protection of the cultural policy of the government. "So it's one area of \u200b\u200bCultural Heritage, the Berlusconi government is mistreating some time and that decent people, those who care about the Italian cultural heritage, can not share in any way. Professor Carandini has preferred to give his resignation so as not to become complicit in a government that is destroying the national cultural heritage.
It is from this conviction that the cultural policy for Tuscany has to leave lest they themselves involved in this drift obscurantist incapable of a minister and a government that in the last financial knew how to use only the hatchet to cut funding for culture. Tuscany has an invaluable asset in terms of artistic, archaeological, museum and humane. A wealth producing economic wealth but also with emotions, keeps alive the sense of belonging, enlighten the hearts and opens minds. Only an administrator unable to look beyond your nose it would jeopardize its existence. It should be the Minister Sandro Bondi to have the courage to give their irrevocable resignations and Professor Carandini, but this is too much to ask for a ruling class of this center that is even in these days studying the possibility of bringing on a chair that Minister Claudio Scajola of which we are all too busy in recent months and certainly not for its seriousness and righteousness.
I am convinced that the junta, led by Governor Henry Smith, and especially the Regional Minister for Culture, Cristina Scaletti will find the right chemistry, because, at least in our region, you get to the disaster that did live in planet in all its drama, the collapse of the Domus of the gladiators in Pompeii in November. A difficult task since it is impossible to replace the funds that are cut by the central government, but we know Toscani and roll up sleeves. Will is already power.
