This was stated by the Minister of Culture, Gennaro Sangiuliano, who signed a decree on 28 December, in implementation of article 11 of the Aiuti Ter Decree (“Further urgent measures regarding national energy policy, enterprise productivity, social policies and implementation of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan”)

The resources will be divided as follows: 15 million to theaters and concert halls; 15 million to cinemas; 10 million to museums, archaeological areas and parks and monumental complexes, public (not pertaining to the MiC) and private. The contribution will serve to offset the increase in expenses relating to the supply of electricity and gas in 2022 compared to pre-pandemic bills.

Criteria for assigning contributions

The sums will be recognized in proportion to the difference between the amount of supply costs incurred in 2022 compared to the same period of 2019, as will result from the invoices attached to the applications admitted to the contribution.
