5.3.5 Architecture and spatial planning
An initiative aimed at promoting modern architecture has been undertaken in 2008, by submitting to the Parliament a draft law on "architectural quality", much inspired by the homonymous draft law of 2004: the systematic promotion of architectural competitions and the elaboration of a Triennial plan for architectural quality are among its main goals. It should also be underlined that, unlike the previous one, the present draft law also provides for the long due reform of Law 717/1949 on 2% for the arts in public buildings. Minister Ornaghi has recently expressed support in favour of re-proposing such a law.
