Eike Schmidt: Between Mayoral Candidacy and Museum Directorship Amidst Controversies

Seemingly a step away from candidacy for Mayor of Florence, he is at the center of accusations by the Democratic Party for having accepted the position as director of the Capodimonte museum, while already planning to stay for a long time. The Italo-German critic Eike Schmidt does not comment on the rumors that see him running nor the poisons that anticipate the electoral campaign towards the election day in June, for the right-wing, in the Tuscan capital, but publishes on the official Facebook page of the Bourbon palace of Naples a photo next to a much-loved artist. And he writes: "In meeting with the Master of photography Mimmo Jodice to continue working on the project of the 'Mimmo Jodice House of Photography', which will be the first center for production, research, and photographic documentation in Southern Italy, to be located in the Cataneo building, one of the 17 buildings of the Bosco di Capodimonte". It's his way of saying: I am working, therefore, but for how long? And how long will the interim that has already affected the Mann last? The case is raised among the comments: "Dear Schmidt decide whether you want to be the Mayor or the Director of Capodimonte. Both Florence and Capodimonte deserve exclusive and dedicated attention and expertise. There are too many dual roles among Italians". And again: "Are we sure that the Florentines will vote for him?"
