D’Agostino: ” Sgarbi to Culture? Being a minister is not a ‘one man show’ ”

” Being a minister is not a ‘one man show’ but a team effort. You have to be able to coordinate and manage a staff and you have to be able to bite the bullet from morning to night in order to carry out a program. And Sgarbi is not suitable for this role ”. Thus the journalist and columnist Roberto D’Agostino to the Adnkronos on Morgan’s appeal who, in an intervention partly in verse published in the ‘Giornale’, asks the premier ‘in pectore’ Giorgia Meloni to entrust the Ministry of Culture to Vittorio Sgarbi . ” The advice I can give to Sgarbi is to let go, to save himself, I say this for his mental health – continues the journalist – Being a minister is completely different from the solitary work of an art critic who does an exhibition and says its about others. When you go to be a minister, the music changes, the score is different ”. ” Politics is made up of relationships, mediations, relationships and contacts. He is a man of culture and has knowledge and competence in the subject, he entertains and creates headlines, the newspapers from Campania thanks to Sgarbi – he admits – but I don’t see him there, bent over, with the Chief of Staff and with a car behind him. power that crushes you. The ministerial machine requires a lot of patience – underlines D’Agostino – the ability to sit sixteen hours with all the troubles that rain down on you. The whole Italian bureaucratic tangle certainly cannot be unraveled by Sgarbi’s character – he says ironically – He (Sgarbi, ed) has a legitimate ambition but far from what is reality. He has to put his feet on the ground. If he goes to be a minister, he gets a front that is enough for him for life. Moreover, we are in a very difficult moment for our country, there is a war, there is no need to add fireworks ”, he concludes. (By Alisa Toaff)
