“Friends and Angels”, Albania-Apulia culture agreement

TIRANA, March 7/ATA/-Albania’s Minister of Culture Mirela Kumbaro signed on Tuesday in Bari the agreement “Friends and Angels” with President of Apulia Region Michele Emiliano.

The agreement is for building the “Park of Art”, a project that revitalizes Natural Park at former film studios. It will be a new artistic centre located at the outskirts of Tirana, reported the Ministry of Culture in its webpage.

The project carries in its core the philosophy of Italian thinker of Albanian origin Antonio Gramsci and it will be an intermingle of installations of statues produced according to Albania’s socialist realism principles.

Minister Kumbaro said she expects debates on delicate topics like Albania’s communist past. But, added the minister, we shall have to constantly face them, at least the generation that spent half of its life under dictatorship.

The project is co-financed by Albania’s Ministry of Culture and Apulia Region.

Kumbaro and Emiliano also agreed on cooperation with Albania’s Opera and Ballet Theatre which this current year will carry in its agenda of activities even tours to the theatres of Apulia Region./r.e/p.s./
