Pittsburgh's Arts Management Program to Help Manage Restored Cultural Sites in Italy
Carnegie Mellon's Master of Arts Management (MAM) program has signed an agreement with three educational institutions in Italy to help restore, utilize and manage historical cultural sites in Italy's Piedmont region.
The MAM program, an interdisciplinary joint program of the H. John Heinz III School of Public Policy and Management and the College of Fine Arts, will work with the University of Bologna's Department of Economics and Management, The Polytechnic Institute of Turin's 2nd Faculty of Architecture and the Fitzcarraldo Foundation in Turin.

"What we signed are commitments to work together on this project," said Dan J. Martin, associate professor and director of the MAM program. "There is much discussion yet to come on research methodology, curriculum development, delivery systems, and the specific responsibilities of each partner institution."
Martin said the Piedmont region in northern Italy is home to more than 250 castles and hundreds of churches, estates and other historically significant sites.
"Many are currently in a state of disrepair, underutilized or decaying," he said. "The communities surrounding these sites do not have the resources to restore them to their proper condition and sustain them. In addition to the restoration and protection of these sites is the issue of what can and should be done once they are restored."
