Bronzes for Expo, Sgarbi attacks: "transporting them is a breeze. Anyone who opposes is a conservative"

The critic and ambassador for the arts: "are a good of the State, not of the Calabria". Then she says that she will turn to the minister Franceschini to ask for the opinion of "restorers independent" and replication to Salvatore Settis


Bronzi per Expo, Sgarbi attacca: "Trasportarli è facilissimo. Chi si oppone è un conservatore"THE Bronzi di Riace "are a good of the State and not of the Calabria Region, much less of the town of Reggio Calabria, then i don't see why that should not be transported in Milan. It would be as if to move the spring of the Botticelli news we need permission from the Mayor of Florence. They are of the same legal entity". Vittorio Sgarbi, recently appointed by the Lombardy Region ambassador for the arts for the Expo, back on its proposal to bring the bronzes in Milan in 2015, on the occasion news of the six months of the Universal Exhibition. THE SURVEY bronzes in Milan, you are in favor or against it? AND the ago after the opening of the Minister of Cultural Heritage, Dario Franceschini, who has demonstrated in this sense news, a "secular availability". In contrast, on the other hand, continues Sgarbi, "the defense of the parochialism that grazes the superstition and the rhetoric from pseudoconservatori restoration" of those who were opposed to the transport of the work. According to the neo ambassador for Expo, "nothing is easier than transporting them. The limit of risk there is always but there is nothing that would endanger their integrity". Between 20 and 21 August "i will write - announces yet - an official news letter to news Franceschini along with Roberto Maroni to ask that independent restorers assess all of the implications of the case". In any case, the art critic is to be noted that, since the department has a top down structure, if the superintendent to the archaeological heritage of Calabria (Simonetta Bonomi) and otherwise, and the minister favorable, the transport "it must be done". Just the Bonomi, in reality, they do not like the idea of the Bronzes in Milan for the Expo for the 'fragility' works, "failed - supports Sgarbi - to defend the works in his house by the photographs of Gerald Bruneau". The critic concludes with the example of a work like the Dancing Satyr "that is of the same age and travels around the world without problems". Irrepressible on topic, Sgarbi also responds to the art historian Salvatore Settis and on the pages of Republic, hnews ad expressed doubts about the need to transfer the two masterpieces, treated as "expensive ornaments". The replica of Sgarbi does not await: "All we can say - attacks - but not that the two masterpieces are not symbol of universal civilization, the roots of Greece and Magna Graecia. And the technology that li has returned in their integrity. All items that you can synthesize in their news exhibition in front of the world on the occasion of the World Expo". "As to the desirability, Settis knows - adds the critical - of them wondered himself for his shows on Magna Greece at the Palazzo Te, Mantova, disappointed then by a negative response that is not considered to be justified. I note that today expresses doubts that was not then. AND showed no cnews oncern to move bronzes equally significant, and even the Efebo of Mozia. Therefore, your speech today is not technical, but political". AND the controversy news continues with other reaction from Reggio Calabria with a dirissima note of Francis Wings and Pasquale Amato, promoters of the Committee for the development of the Bronzi di Riace and the museo Magna Grecia in Reggio Calabria. "IT'S a smokescreen - says the note - that put in place by the minister Franceschini that stated that he had need of external experts from the ministrynews  to know if the Riace Bronzes can travel or less, with it he has offended and humiliated the scientific reports of the last 40 years compiled by bureaus news , restorers, experts Enr and Aeneas, which have already decreed the maximum fragility of the two statues that, in the case of even minimal movements, are at risk irreversible damage and even destruction. "OR the minister has already decided, in fact, to move to Milan, the delicate statues - continues to note - in order to promote a plan that aims only to monetize in favor of the Lombardia the Expo news abandoning the noon and the rest of Italy, or rather it is not able to play the role that his mandate requires: heritage but preserving it from high risk to its destruction."
