Who is Massimo Garavaglia, the Northern League's Minister of Tourism in the Draghi government

Here is the curriculum of Massimo Garavaglia, Minister of Tourism in the Draghi government

Matteo Salvini and the tourism sector have won: Mario Draghi has foreseen an ad hoc Ministry of Tourism.

It will be the Northern League player Massimo Garavaglia at the head of the tourism department in the Draghi government.

The many appeals of the last few hours have evidently worked (from the president of Federalberghi Bernabò Bocca to that of Confturismo Luca Patanè) to the prime minister in charge of Mario Draghi for the formation of a tourism ministry with an adequate portfolio.

The sector, which before the Covid crisis was worth more than 13% of the Italian GDP and was one of the most resilient and vital economic sectors, was massacred by the Covid crisis and perhaps for this reason it was decided to create a dedicated ministry that will be led by Massimo Garavaglia.

Minister Dario Franceschini himself, who was reconfirmed at the head of Culture, said in a tweet that it is a “right choice for a ministry for tourism alone, so affected by the crisis” given the great crisis.

Culture and tourism are back together in the same ministry, the Mibact, at the end of 2019 under the guidance of Franceschini. Previously the ministry of tourism had been merged with agriculture and entrusted to the League's ministry Gian Marco Centinaio.
