Egyptian Museum Turin, Sangiuliano’s choice could turn into an own goal for Italy. Here because
New political storm on Ministry of Culture for the possible choice of the next president of Egyptian Museum of Turin. The minister Sangiulian he would already have the right name in mind, but the candidate is dividing because of his intentions. It’s about Zahi Hawassthis is – reports La Stampa – the name on the launch pad for the presidency of the Egyptian Museum of Turin. The 77 year old archaeologistformer Minister of Antiquities of Egypt, is credited as one of the possible successors of Evelina Christillin at the top of the second most important museum of its kind after the one in Cairo. The nomination falls to the Minister of Culture Gennaro Sangiulianwhich could take advantage of the expiration of the current president to exercise his right to choose.
But there is – continues La Stampa – one a question that experts fear regarding this possible choice. Hawass is one of the great supporters of the restitution of the finds ancient to their countries of origin. These days it is his campaign on Rosetta Stone, kept at the British Museum in London, for which he collected thousands of signatures. Request that could occur for other finds. Although the Egyptian Museum in theory would not have much to fear, since nHe currently has no refund requests pending. But his possible appointment and the consequences for Italy have created the case and now it will be up to the minister Sangiulian choose whether to continue on that path or change the candidate.
