Culture grows where there are solid roots, places capable of preserving memory, knowledge and identity. It is in this vein that Tarsia obtains a three-year funding from the Publishing Fund from the Ministry of Culture (MIC), intended for the strengthening of the Marco Aurelio Severino Civic Library, one of the three libraries that make the village a rare hub of knowledge in the regional panorama.
A SUPPORT THAT STRENGTHENS A UNIQUE SYSTEM
This is what Mayor Roberto Ameruso says, who together with the municipal councilor delegate for culture Roberto Cannizzaro followed the ministerial financing process, also specifying that the intervention will allow the valorisation of a library named after one of the most authoritative anatomist-surgeons of the seventeenth century, innovator of medical practice and author of the Democritean zootomy, considered the first modern work of comparative anatomy and among the illustrious sons of Tarsia. The Civic Library joins two other local excellences: the Ernst Bernhard Memory Library, housed in the International Museum of Memory of Ferramonti, and the Calabrian Naturalistic Library of the Reserve, among the very few in Italy of a specialist nature in the field of natural and environmental sciences.
AMERUSO: AN INVESTMENT IN OUR CULTURAL IDENTITY
This funding – declares the Mayor – represents a concrete investment in our cultural identity. Tarsia can now count on a complex library system, capable of offering citizens tools for growth, study and in-depth analysis. Strengthening the Severino Library means valuing our past and making it immediately accessible to new generations.
CANNIZZARO: MORE SERVICES, MORE READINGS, MORE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE COMMUNITY
The support of the Ministry – adds the Councilor delegated to Culture – will allow us to expand the services, update the collections and make the library an even more dynamic, open and usable place. In a small but culturally vibrant community like ours, every investment in knowledge becomes an opportunity for collective growth.
A COMMUNITY THAT GUARDS AND PRODUCES CULTURE
The three-year funding consolidates the path started by the Ameruso Administration in enhancing the local cultural heritage and in networking the three libraries of the area, each custodian of an essential part of local history: from the civil memory of Ferramonti to the environmental richness of the Reserve and ending with the scientific legacy of Marco Aurelio Severino.
