“Facts like the Galileo Museum will be more and more appreciated.” This was stated by Maria Cristina Mesa, Minister of University and Research, who supported this statement with a specific commitment: a contribution of 1.5 million to be paid each year to the Museum of Florence.

The announcement came during a visit last Monday to the building in Piazza dei Giudeci, accompanied by the museum’s executive director, Roberto Ferrari.
