Culture Minister Appoints Macciardi at Teatro San Carlo; Naples Mayor Challenges Decree

Ending a four-month leadership vacuum, the decree formalizes Macciardi’s role following a council vote contested by the Naples mayor alongside financial auditors.

Overview

  • Minister of Culture Alessandro Giuli has issued the formal decree naming Fulvio Macciardi as sovrintendente of Teatro San Carlo.
  • Three Consiglio di indirizzo members convened independently of Mayor Gaetano Manfredi to nominate Macciardi after he abruptly canceled the scheduled board meeting.
  • Mayor Manfredi announced plans to appeal to the regional administrative court (Tar), arguing the nomination lacks legal validity without full council approval.
  • The Revisori dei Conti wrote to the Culture Ministry warning that the minority vote does not comply with administrative and legal requirements.
  • Teatro San Carlo has been without a sovrintendente since April, and its operational stability now depends on a central government decision.
