Abstract
The article analyses current public management and funding practices of cultural organisations in Italy by using comparative and statistical analysis. The structure of the sector’s governing bodies and approaches to budgeting for culture at national level have been explored. Trends in decreasing funding from provincial, regional and local budgets have been identified. The status, legislative and institutional conditions for the emergence of Italy’s unique multichannel cultural financing system have been described. An analysis of the Italian museum system’s reform has been presented. The activities of private opera foundations have been discussed in detail. The main similarities between Russian and Italian cultural policies have been described. These are the drive to expand the boundaries and activities associated with the cultural sector, the significant burden on local and regional authorities in the field of cultural heritage preservation, the “quantitative approach” and the application of financial performance indicators to assess cultural organisations performance.The article’s scientific novelty lies in the complex approach to the study of Italian cultural policy using the criteria proposed by D. Montias and A. I. Glagolev, and in the study of the activities of Italian opera foundations and museums, which had not previously been sufficiently covered in the Russian and foreign literature. The prospect of the topic, the practical significance and relevance of the research are due to the need to implement regulations in Russia which set a course for the creation of a multi-channel system of funding and a broad understanding of the cultural sector, and ensuring inter-agency and inter-regional cooperation between the authorities in the implementation of cultural policy.The article analyses a wide range of financial support mechanisms for culture, most of which are named in the “Strategy of State Cultural Policy of Russia as Targets by 2030”, while Italy has accumulated considerable experience in this area for several decades.

Summary
В статье проанализирована современная практика государственного управления и финансирования организаций культуры Италии с использованием сравнительного и статистического анализа. Охарактеризованы состояние, законодательные и институциональные условия для формирования уникальной многоканальной системы финансирования культуры Италии. Охарактеризованы основные сходства культурной политики России и Италии, среди которых: стремление к расширению границ и сфер деятельности, ассоциируемых с отраслью культуры, значительная нагрузка на местные и региональные органы управления в области сохранения культурного наследия, «количественный подход» и применение показателей финансовой эффективности к оценке результатов деятельности организаций культуры. Перспективность тематики, практическая значимость и актуальность исследования обусловлены необходимостью реализации в России нормативно-правовых актов, наметивших курс на создание многоканальной системы финансирования и широкое понимание отрасли культуры, а также обеспечение межведомственного и межрегионального взаимодействия органов власти в рамках реализации культурной политики.
