Culture week 2010 – Settimana della Cultura
Albeit without fanfare, the dates for Italy’s annual ‘Culture Week’ – Settimana dell Cultura – have been confirmed for 2010.
The 12th edition runs from the 16th to the 25th of April 2010 (spot the flexibility on what constitutes a week), and sees free admissions to all Italian State museums, hand in hand with various special events.
The very subdued announcement is here, and you can view the official release (PDF) here.
The above document is very bullish in wanting to increase attendance, and invites (well, demands) submissions from all participants (before March 16th) with details of at least two ‘excellent events’. Once all that is done we can expect the shouting from the rooftops to commence. Anyway, a good time to be getting your culture fix in Italy. Note that although admittance is free, any and all of the online reservation services, such as tickitaly.com will still be charging a service fee for actually making the reservations.
If you can time your visit accordingly, particularly for families, there are savings to be had for your outings to the likes of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, the Brera Gallery in Milan and the Borghese Gallery in Rome.
