«These are resources – says the councilor – which, as required by law, are intended for the cultural valorization of the artistic and museum heritage of the institutions that will benefit from them. Concrete support from the Schifani government to the Municipalities which, in addition to taking care of UNESCO sites and geoparks, will also be able to propose initiatives that improve their promotion and use”.
