Revitalizing Cultural Heritage: Major Hotel Groups to Enhance Tourism Offerings at the Albergo dei Poveri

«A tender for major hotel groups will soon be launched for the Albergo dei Poveri, the winner of which will be able to expand the room offerings for tourism,» declares the Minister of Culture Gennaro Sangiuliano, speaking at a conference on cultural heritage in Naples hosted by the Centro Belforte. The minister recalled the future destinations of Palazzo Fuga. «It will be the largest cultural infrastructure in Europe, just think that it is larger than the Louvre which occupies 90,000 square meters compared to 140,000 of Palazzo Fuga. It will host the expansion of the Mann, in whose storages there are many objects and entire collections that cannot be displayed, and also the Federico II University with activities related to archaeology, a digitized library. Young people will be able to meet in the Garden of Ideas. The construction site is open, there has been an international tender. In another part of the palace, on the right, there is the area that will be tendered to hotel groups.» On the major Neapolitan museums, Sangiuliano reiterated: «The Mann is very well maintained, I invite everyone to visit the Campania Romana exhibition. At Capodimonte there is a gigantic intervention, By 2026 it will have 90% of self-produced energy. The autonomy of museums is a congruent and useful thing.» It was also confirmed that in the autumn the application for «Naples as a UNESCO Creative City» will start.
