Daga and Esposito: Alghero bids to become Italian Capital of Culture

Published on 26 April 2026. Enrico Daga, secretary of the local Democratic Party, reiterated Gabriella Esposito's proposal to nominate Alghero as Italian Capital of Culture. The initiative is presented as a community project to shift the city from a seasonal destination to a year‑round cultural hub.

• Goal: enhance local identity, relationships and long‑term cultural projects throughout the year.
• Priorities: investments in youth, education, sports, research and social inclusion.
• Method: a participatory path with public dialogue rather than isolated events or tourist promotion only.

Proponents say the bid needs structured policies and cooperation among institutions, cultural organizations and local stakeholders to create a sustainable and shared plan.
