The presentation of Claudio Martinelli's book "Evolution of cultural policies in Trentino", published by Idesia with the Fondazione Museo storico del Trentino, will be held on Wednesday 5 June 2024 in Trento at Le Gallerie di Piedicastello. An accurate examination of the cultural policies implemented by the Autonomous Province of Trento since the Second Statute of 1972 to date. The initiative is promoted by the Fondazione Museo storico del Trentino in collaboration with TSM-Trentino School of Management.
The Autonomous Province of Trento, starting from the Second Statute of Autonomy, intervened by shaping "the cultural system" and supported its consolidation and development, intertwining the provincial dimension with the local dimension. In this process, the cultural sector has taken on a decisive role in the process of modernisation and development of Trentino. Over the years, the "Trentino cultural system" has assumed a precise physiognomy: cultural institutions have won a central role, the quality of the offer and the participation of citizens have gradually grown. In short, culture has become an engine for the civil and social development of the Trentino community.
Claudio Martinelli, sociologist and former director of the Province's Cultural Activities Service, in the volume that will be presented on Wednesday 5 June at Le Gallerie, reviewed 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.
