"The International Evaluation Body responsible for expressing its opinion on the UNESCO candidacy proposals has given a favorable opinion to nominate Italian opera singing in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity”. Yesterday, Gianmarco Mazzi, the Undersecretary for Culture, made this announcement. He described it as an initial technical result that is crucial prior to the official declaration of registration, which will be determined by the Member Countries of the Intergovernmental Committee during their December meeting in Botswana for the XVIII Session. "It is a communication that fills us with pride," Mazzi added, "in the face of the commitment we are making as a government to the international enhancement of our cultural legacy. Tradition and innovation are the expressions that characterize Italy in the globe."
