REMINDER Press accreditation note – Popular Music Table – Farnesina, 6 June 2024

REMINDER PRESS ACCREDITATION NOTE

Presentation of the National and International Table
for the Enhancement of Popular and Amateur Music

Farnesina – 6 June 2024, 11:00 a.m.

 

On Thursday, 6 June 2024 at 11:00 a.m., the Italian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Antonio Tajani, will hold a press conference at the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in the Aldo Moro Room, to present the Decree by which the National and International Table for the Enhancement of Popular and Amateur Music was established on 24 May.

The initiative aims to support and coordinate popular and amateur music activities in Italy and abroad in the context of the objectives of the NRRP project “Roots Tourism”. The measure will benefit all those bodies and associations devoted to popular and amateur music activities present in the more than 7,900 Italian municipalities, a universe of about 4,600 musical bands, 3,500 choral groups, 2,500 school choirs, 3,000 parish choirs and 750 folk groups.

These are fundamental social and cultural realities, which are an expression of the history and traditions of the territories and which play a role in the education of the new generations in handing down the national culture and identity, with an actual relevance within the objectives of the current Roots Tourism project. The Table thus fills a gap and will facilitate the systemisation on the one hand of the funds made available by the NRRP for the Roots Tourism project and, on the other, the cultural diplomacy action carried out by the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its network abroad.
