Regione Lombardia, in collaboration with Fondazione Cariplo, has approved 23 cultural projects for the 2026-2029 period. The initiative allocates 18 million euros from the regional government to support the restoration, redevelopment, and relaunch of public buildings intended for cultural use.

Across various provinces, the funding targets diverse locations. The Milan metropolitan area will receive over 2 million euros for three projects, including the restoration of the Palazzina Liberty. Other significant allocations include 3 million euros for Bergamo, 2.5 million for Brescia, 2.4 million for Mantova, and 2 million for Cremona. The province of Como is set to receive over 1.5 million euros, specifically for the restoration of the Chiesa della Madonna della Soledad in Gravedona ed Uniti and the recovery of Villa Marzorati in Porlezza.

Regional Culture Councilor Francesca Caruso stated that these resources allow territories to recover historically significant buildings and make them available to citizens. The projects aim to improve accessibility, energy efficiency, and create multifunctional spaces for artistic, educational, and social activities. The total investment across all 23 projects is expected to exceed 45.5 million euros when including additional regional and private resources.
