After the deadline, the government will tally uptake, assess the economic impact, and consider whether to renew or adjust the program in future fiscal cycles. The Italian Ministry of Culture reminds citizens that they have until 30 June to apply for the Carta Cultura e del Merito, a one‑off €1000 voucher aimed at supporting cultural and educational purchases.
