Italy and Germany: fully aligned in the development of cultural relations
Cultural collaboration, one of the pillars of the Italian-German Action Plan
The meeting between Gennaro Sangiuliano, Italian Minister of Culture, and Hans-Dieter Lucas, German Ambassador in Rome, was an opportunity to underline the strong development of cultural relations between Italy and Germany.
During this meeting, the project which will see Italy participate as Guest of Honour at the Frankfurt Book Fair 2024 was also discussed. Minister Sangiuliano confirmed that the Italian government attaches great importance to this participation and welcomed the work of Extraordinary Commissioner Mauro Mazza who, in collaboration with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture, is actively involved in the preparation of the Italian Pavilion and in the creation of a rich and extensive calendar of events, with Italian authors to represent the Italian culture and bring it closer to the German public.
Among the next stages of the project will be the participation in the next Turin Book Fair in May 2024, which will put German-language literature in the spotlight.
