As announced the Culture Undersecretary Francesca Barracciu, a government tax break on art-related donations has encouraged patrons of the arts to give over 25 million euros in support of the country’s cultural heritage.
The so-called art bonus allows for a 65% deduction on eligible donations. Mrs Barracciu said she is working to “keep the incentive at 65% in the next budget, and hopefully to make it permanent”. So far 685 patrons have made donations to 188 beneficiaries in municipalities across Italy.
