On December 20, the President of UNISCA was invited to participate in the annual Symphosium of the Centro Studi Doc Foundation, joining a panel that addressed the topic The Reform of the Entertainment Sector and the Status of Artists”. The panel included Chiara Chiappa (President of the Centro Studi Doc Foundation), Annarita Masullo (Spokesperson for La Musica che Gira), Matteo Orfini (Member of Parliament, Member of the VII Commission for Culture, Science, and Education), and Roberto Rampi (Senator, Member of the VII Commission for Public Education and Cultural Heritage).
Massimo Pontoriero explained: “To carry out our mission of ‘Building Synthesis,’ UNISCA calls on all system stakeholders to take part in shaping a broad, comprehensive, and inclusive definition of our industry, the industry of Creativity, Arts, and Entertainment, including its activities, businesses, workers, and venues. We believe it’s essential to collaborate on a scientific market study that brings together existing research and explores currently overlooked areas, offering a clear and accurate picture of the true scope of our world, one that goes beyond the small, visible portion often recognized. This work is the cornerstone for developing real solutions and an urgent priority we can no longer delay. It’s not only about protecting our cultural heritage but also about giving future creative generations a concrete vision and opportunities, while strengthening Italian identity within the European and international framework. his initiative, launched through the efforts of Orfini, Verducci, and Nencini, was partially reflected in Article 2 of the Unified Draft Bill in the Senate and was later reinforced by amendment no. 01.2 (proposed by Saponara, Alessandrini, and others) to Draft Bill 2318. 1. This amendment proposes adding an article on ‘Activities in the Entertainment Sector’ before Article 1, an essential step toward fully defining the industry.”
