The fifth edition of the Executive Course in “Management of Artistic and Cultural Heritage and Corporate Collections”, which aims to create professionals in the management of the artistic and cultural heritage of private individuals, non-profit institutions and companies, is now underway.
The main training topics include:

- economic and accounting dimension of cultural goods and activities

The course stems from the experience gained over the years with “Progetto Cultura”, the Bank's programme that protects, manages and enhances Intesa Sanpaolo's art collections of over 35,000 works, Intesa Sanpaolo's Gallerie d'Italia - with museums in Milan, Naples, Turin and Vicenza - the Group's Historical Archives and the Restituzioni project.
The Course is run by Intesa Sanpaolo with the support of the Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation and the Cariplo Foundation, in collaboration with the 1563 per l'Arte e la Cultura Foundation and Digit'Ed, and conceived with the scientific contribution of the Scuola dei beni e delle attività culturali Foundation, the international institute for training, research and advanced studies within the remit of the Ministry of Culture.
The first four editions, held starting 2021, attracted extraordinary interest with almost 1,600 applications and 126 graduates.
Course structure and how to take part
The 'Management of Artistic and Cultural Heritage and Corporate Collections' course is aimed at 30 graduates with at least one year's work experience, preferably in the management of museums, archives and the artistic heritage of companies and private individuals, with the aim of enhancing their managerial skills and relations with the territory.
Under the organisational direction of Digit'Ed, it is coordinated by Prof. Guido Guerzoni, lecturer at the Bocconi University of Milan: the lectures are delivered by scholars from Italian universities, cultural and business managers, museum directors and officials, showing how the relationship between the public and private sectors is a fundamental lever for policies for the protection, management and enhancement of cultural heritage.
The Course will last four months, from 24 January to 24 May 2025, and will be held in presence at the Gallerie d'Italia in Milan and Turin. The teaching also includes project work and will be complemented by study visits to art venues, cultural institutions, corporate heritages and museums throughout Italy.
Fourteen scholarships are available, provided by the Compagnia di San Paolo Foundation, the 1563 per l'Arte e la Cultura Foundation, the Cariplo Foundation and the Scuola dei beni e delle attività culturali Foundation.
