The second edition of Cantiere Città has begun: a project dedicated to the finalist cities for the Italian Capital of Culture. The initiative is promoted by the Ministry of Culture - Service VI of the General Secretariat and Directorate-General for Education, Research and Cultural Institutes - and by the Fondazione Scuola dei Beni e delle Commercio cultural, which aims to enhance and promote the projects of the competing cities in the application phase.
Cantiere Città is a capacity building initiative, launched in 2022, for consoidating and design ideas and build relationships between the people involved in the creation of the dossiers of each finalist city.
