A cooperation agreement was signed between the Museo civico del Risorgimento of Bologna and the Associazione Amici della Certosa.
On
Friday April, 8 the Istituzione Bologna Musei (Bologna City Council), the Museo civico del Risorgimento, the Ufficio Cerimoniale del Sindaco (Mayor's ceremonial
office) and the Associazione Amici della Certosa (Friends
of the Certosa of Bologna) signed a cooperation
agreement for the execution, enhancement, preservation and
maintenance of the historic, cultural and artistic heritage of Certosa Monumental Cemetery and, more generally, of the
cultural assets of Bologna dating back to the period included between
the nineteenth and the twentieth century.
In
particular, the Association commits to promoting the acquisition,
rehabilitation, restoration and research on historic materials, and
also to contributing to the cleaning and ordinary maintenance -
through brushing and dusting - of the historic -artistic assets
located in the cemetery, inside Palazzo d'Accursio and in other
locations owned by the Municipality.
The
agreement is just one of many forms of active citizenship promoted by
the Municipality of Bologna to preserve and rehabilitate common urban
assets through the direct involvement of citizens.
Over
the last few years the Associazione Amici della Certosa has been constantly working with the Museo civico del
Risorgimento to promote fund raising initiatives aimed at supporting
several actions ranging from the restoration and acquisition of works
and documents, to the launch of events, exhibitions, publications and
other promotional materials.
