Paolo Petrocelli has been appointed Vice President of the Italian Association for Cultural Economics, the leading Italian organization dedicated to promoting the development and understanding of the economics applied to cultural heritage, entertainment, and the cultural industry.

“Alongside President Alessandro Leon and Secretary General Giovanna Castelli, I will work with enthusiasm and dedication to lead this prestigious association, which has for decades brought together some of the most influential figures in our sector: academics, researchers, cultural managers, and economists. In a country like Italy, I believe it is crucial to support the study and research of cultural economics now more than ever. To manage our heritage and cultural institutions with foresight, it is essential to cultivate knowledge, foster critical thinking, and build innovative visions.”
