Naples is currently hosting the G7 Cultural Summit, drawing representatives from the world's leading nations to discuss the future of culture.

The event, marked by heightened security, has seen the deployment of special forces and drones to ensure the safety of the delegates.

However, the summit has also sparked protests from university students who oppose the increasing privatization and inaccessibility of cultural policies.

The new Italian Minister of Culture, Alessandro Giuli, welcomed the delegates, showcasing the city's rich archaeological heritage.

The summit includes a visit to Pompeii, where a concert featuring Andrea Bocelli is scheduled.

Meanwhile, the mayor of Pompeii is optimistic about the city's bid to become the 2027 Capital of Culture, highlighting the support from over 70 municipalities.
