Starting from the Second Statute of Autonomy, the autonomous Province of Trento intervened by shaping “the cultural system” and supported its consolidation and development, intertwining the provincial dimension with the local dimension. In this process, the culture sector has taken on a decisive role in the process of modernization and development of Trentino. Over the years, the “Trentino cultural system” has taken on its own precise physiognomy: cultural institutions have acquired a central role, the quality of the offer and the participation of citizens have gradually grown. In short, culture has become the engine of the civil and social development of the Trentino community.
Claudio Martinelli, sociologist and former director of the Cultural Activities Service of the Province, in the volume that will be presented on Wednesday 5 June at Le Gallerie, has retraced the cultural policies, from the approval of the Second Statute to today, highlighting the visions and ideas that have allowed the establishment of a structure in which tradition and innovation, local dimension and international vocation are intertwined.
The meeting will be introduced by Giuseppe Ferrandigeneral director of the Trentino Historical Museum Foundation, Mauro Marcantonisociologist and journalist, and the same Claudio Martinelli. Speeches will follow Luca Dal Pozzoloarchitect (Fitzcarraldo Foundation of Turin), Sandra Matuellavice president of the S. Chiara cultural services center in Trento e Michele Lanzingerpresident of ICOM Italy.
Paola Borzgeneral director of TSM-Trentino School of Management will moderate the discussion.
