Statement by President Meloni on the recognition of Italian-style condominio theatres as UNESCO World Heritage

Italian-style condominio theatres have been recognised as UNESCO World Heritage.

For centuries, these historical, architectural and cultural gems have enriched the identity of the villages and towns of Central Italy, making it unique.

This recognition consolidates Italy's top ranking on the UNESCO World Heritage List. This leading position makes us proud and drives us to do even more, and better. Italy is a cultural superpower and we will continue to do our part, every day, to safeguard, protect and enhance a heritage that is the envy of the entire world.

Thank you to everyone who believed in this challenge right from the outset and who made it possible to succeed.
