Italy Celebrates the European Heritage Days

On Saturday, September 28th, Italy will celebrate the European Heritage Days, a cultural event first conceived by the European Council in 1991 as a way to favour and strengthen cultural dialogue and exchange among European countries. Entrance to public museums, palazzi, foundations, monuments and archaeological sites will be free of charge and many institutions will stay open late, until midnight, as they take part in Saturday Night at the Museum. Numerous initiatives have been organized all along the Peninsula, to promote the Bel Paese’s ancient and astounding cultural heritage. For a full list of sites taking part in the initiative visit www.beniculturali.it/gep2013 and www.beniculturali.it/unanottealmuseo
