The Minister of Culture, Elva Margariti, participated in the “Call for Action” initiative by UNESCO and the Italian government during the conference titled “Cultural Heritage in the 21st Century,” which took place in Naples.

This initiative aims to enhance accountability in addressing the challenges we encounter in this century, ranging from climate change to the evolving demands posed by the continuous growth of cultural tourism.

“Call for Action” constitutes an appeal to honor international conventions safeguarding both tangible and intangible cultural heritage. More significantly, it urges these protections to be utilized in the service of humanity and future generations, ensuring their enjoyment and transmission.

The Minister of Culture, Margariti, expressed admiration for the remarkable organization of the event held in the culturally vibrant city of Naples. The conference was attended by notable figures including the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, Antonio Tajani, his counterpart Gennaro Sangiuliano, UNESCO leaders such as Director General Audrey Azoulay, Deputy Director General for Culture Ernesto Ottone, as well as policymakers and heritage specialists from across the globe.
