In Support of Christian Greco, Director of the Museo Egizio, following Recent Political Attacks by the Italian Far Right

No to Fascism and xenophobia in any form

As an Egyptologist who has lived in Egypt, working for the Egyptian people, I know how immensely important diplomatically and ethically such initiatives are. Fortunati sono quelli che vivono a Torino! They have every reason to be proud of Dr Christian Greco and the excellent work that he is doing. Long may it continue.

Christian is an inspiration, the impact of his work on the community and the city of Turin is immeasurable. He is a dear friend and an extremy reputable expert in his field, his work should not be scrutinised.

Go Cristian go!!

Culture is the only winning option against stupidity and ignorance

Christian Grecos appointment in 2014 was the best thing that could happen to the (already fantastic) Egyptian Museum in Turin: He made it even better! I completely support him in his sympathic idea to make the museum more accessible for the Arabic tongue to attract more visitors (as this is one of his functions as director). I feel sorry for the people who are unable to see the positive side of this decission! Narrow mindedness should never be part of museum-policy, nor should museum-policy be part of a political campaign!

Proud to be a former colleague of Christian Greco, who must be allowed to continue his excellent work.

Christian Greco is so brilliant and has such wonderful projects for this Museum. I am proud to support him.

Censorship is not freedom. Nor can you re-write history. The entire world will know what these people are attempting to do. In these times, I support Christian Greco. What he is doing, to be inclusive, to expand knowledge among the population, these are admirable objectives. He should be praised, supported and defended by all.

These attacks are unqualifiable, so despicable they are. The Egyptian Museum is a top-notch cultural institution, which is committed to fostering knowledge, dialogue, and inclusion across all cultures. My solidarity and support go to all the staff of the Museum. And a big thank you for keeping our hopes up in these dark times for our country.

Totale sostegno a Christian Greco e a tutto lo staff del Museo Egizio di Torino e a difesa del diritto dei musei di fare cultura

The Museo Egizio's programs and attempts at inclusiveness should be a model for museums around the world. I celebrate Dr. Greco's accomplishments and wish him and the museum continued success.

I strongly support C. Greco for this and for further initiatives of this kind, promoting inclusion and aiming to the sharing of culture.

Go Christian!

I express all my solidarity to Christian Greco and the Museo Egizio. A big thank you for fostering dialogue and the engagement of all the national and international community in Turin and in Italy, especially now in one of its darkest times.

Politics has no place in a museum. This is an attack on culture, education and scientific and Research.

Grazie per quello che sei, sono le persone come te che mi rendono orgoglioso di essere italiano.

Supporting Christian Greco and the Museo Egizio.
