COMPLIMENTS FROM MINISTER SANGIULIANO. «I want to express my compliments and those of the Ministry of Culture to the State Police for promptly identifying the alleged person responsible for the defacement of a portion of the wall on the façade of the Royal Palace of Caserta. The Ministry will become a civil party in the proceedings against this person who will be called to answer for what has been done also on the basis of the new legislation, which I strongly supported, according to which anyone who damages the cultural heritage will also have to pay the costs for the restoration of the damage”.
