European culture ministers met in Brussels and signaled readiness to intervene in Italy's Venice Biennale funding, citing concerns over content, according to La Repubblica. Rome's culture ministry was notably absent from the gathering.
An EU commissioner stated the bloc will not provide funds to initiatives that rehabilitate aggressors. The warning appears targeted at Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini's involvement with the event.
The dispute reflects broader EU tensions with Italy over cultural policy and event curation.
