“Despite the kindness and grace he brought, Levi actually did some things Mistakes where he moved with the grace of an elephant“. So the Undersecretary of State for Culture Vittorio Sgarbi Comments on the Epistle of Adnkronos resignation as Extraordinary Commissioner for Italy at the Frankfurt Book Fair Ricardo Franco Levi handed over to the Minister of Culture Gennaro Sangiuliano yesterday afternoon. “There were a number of episodes,” notes Sgarbi. “First he carried out an action against Carlo Rovelli at the book fair, a political action that could have looked ‘right-wing’, but which none of us asked of him. Then today I read” that someone noticed that he nominated the communications office where his son works for the book fair: this series of coincidences, combined with a lack of ruse that turned against him, has it did forced to back down“.
Levi’s approach “does not show the high level of dialogue that would be needed to engage in dialogue with the government,” Sgarbi said. It reports on a recent episode in which he met the President of the IEA: “He came to me,” says Sgarbi, “and while he was talking about the construction of the Italian Pavilion at the Frankfurt Trade Fair, he told us that he had already decided on Stefano Boeri without any openness to dialogue about other possible characters. I had thought of Gaetano Pesce but he insisted he had already chosen Tito Boeri. The basic rule is: “With this sentence from non-communicative attitudeswas in a situation that led to his resignation – adds the Undersecretary for Culture – I believe that this is the consequence of a series of positions taken in an autocratic manner, which I do not think is the best way for a dialogue with the seems to be reference ministry”. Is there already an idea who the new commissioner could be?”The neighbor does not have to abide by the law, says Sgarbi, but has to act in dialogue“.
