“The Security of National Artistic Heritage and Museum Assets” is the theme at the center of the event organized by S News in collaboration with Professor Umberto Saccone, EY Leader (Ernst & Young) and Adjunct Professor at Luiss Business School.  

The event will be held on Thursday 16 November starting at 11:00 and ending at 12:30 on the S News television set, in pavilion 5, R11-S14 at SICUREZZA 2023, the international trade fair dedicated to Security and Fire of Fiera Milano, which will take place from 15 to 17 November in the exhibition pavilions of Fieramilano Rho.

The large growth in cultural tourism, recorded not only in the summer period but also in the autumn one and already expected for 2024, will bring huge flows of tourists to Italy to visit its artistic heritage and museum assets.

In addition, natural disasters, which are increasing and increasingly devastating, also put the Italian cultural heritage in serious danger.

 “What drives us – underlines Professor Saccone – is the idea that the beauty of our cities and the cultural heritage inherited over the centuries from the genius of our artists and our writers impose on us a duty of protection for us, our children and the generations to come. Not just a duty, above all a moral commitment that we have undertaken as citizens.

On this basis and in view of the unpleasant episodes recorded in Florence, London and the territories of Emilia Romagna, we are working towards the definition of a new professional figure: the Art Security Manager, specifically dedicated to the Security Risk Management of museums and places of culture".

The new vision, the first results of the project relating to the professional figure of the Art Security Manager and the new methodology for museum security will be presented on 16 November within the prestigious setting of the international event on Security at Fiera Milano.
