The Ateneo Veneto, in agreement with the Chamber of Commerce of Venice, arranges for Friday, May 10, 2013 a conference on the theme of the Factory of Culture, to check the status of an art as old as thorny problem: whether the management of the culture - at different times of his organization, dissemination and disclosure - is necessarily assisted or vice versa autonomous and free. This in light of recent investigations of different subjects, but especially in a place like Venice, where the presence of institutions, universities, foundations, as well as being an attraction for culture, is an important professional center and a reality irreplaceable in the world of the work.
