Presentation of the Quaderni AIAF in the Aula Magna of Palazzo Ridolfi

On Friday, November 15th will be held the conference Investing in art and culture : financial aspects, market, tax in the context of the presentation of the Quaderni AIAF of the Italian Association of Financial Analysts .
' Investing in art and culture : financial aspects, market, tax '

Abstract:
The main "patronage " and " manager " of our country is the public sector; which , however, has increasingly reduced funds for cultural heritage and for cultural activities, both at central and at local authority. The preservation of our cultural heritage is increasingly poor and leads to rising costs . On the other hand , the support of the Italian and foreign private bodies, in the field of sponsorship, is relevant only for great events and projects, in part because of unfavorable tax treatment for donations. At the operating level , although there are many ongoing improvements , we see that there is still a low interaction of many museums and private collections with possible sponsors . In this sense, to encourage a greater involvement of individuals, can play a key role in the accounting and disclosure issues that , if properly implemented by proper business plan, drawn up with a good sensitivity analysis and audited accounts, are able to enhance the availability of donors and employers resources . The future of this sector is crucial for Italy . Finance is an important and difficult challenge, especially in a time in which both the public sector and the manufacturing sector, suffering from an economic crisis difficult to overcome.
