Culture Minister Alberto
Bonisoli said Tuesday that access to Italian State museums will
be free for 20 days a year as a result of a government decree
that will come into force this week.
He said the free days would be during the 'week of the
museums' from March 5 and 10, plus eight days picked by the
directors of the individual institutions and six on each first
Sunday of the month between October and March.
Bonisoli provoked widespread dismay last year when he
announced that a previous system, in which all State museums
were free on the first Sunday of every month, was being
scrapped.
