 La nostra direttrice Paola Marini riceve il premio FIAC a New York

 
Entirely sharing the aims of the reform of the Ministry of Culture introduced by the Minister Dario Franceschini, I hopefully made my experience and my best efforts available for this challenge. Put to the test, the task has proved to be much harder than I could ever imagine. 
Even before cultural proposals – that are part of a well-established practice – we need to work hard behind the scenes to create a service organization and feed a sharing mood and a spirit of openness, the only ones that can produce good results. 
However, despite the exceptional collections we keep, the path appears to be still very long and tough. In the case of Venice, the critical issues are to be found in the shortage of personnel of all kinds, in the lack of organization, in the difficulties in working together to achieve common goals.
That's why in such a delicate moment, even from a personal perspective, in spite of many results achieved and several beautiful ongoing projects, the FIAC award is a great sign of encouragement and stimulus for which I am truly grateful.
I’m glad to devolve part of the prize amount to the organization of the exhibition dedicated to the young Tintoretto that will open at the Gallerie dell’Accademia at the beginning of September.
