On Monday, May 2, the Italian government announced that it will spend one billion euros to restore thirty-three of the country’s museums and cultural heritage sites. The monumental investment will involve revamping a number of well-known attractions, including the Uffizi Gallery in Florence, the Reggia di Caserta palace near Naples, and the ancient Roman ruins of Pompeii and Herculaneum. The government hopes that the investment will draw an increased number of tourists to Italy’s myriad cultural treasures.
