011 - 1977.10 - ΔΗΜΗΤΣΑΝΑ
by Brotherhood of Dimitsaniton “Gregory the E” · 1977
Summary
The October 1977 issue details the Brotherhood’s memorandum to the Ministry of Culture proposing a new Antiquities Service in Arcadia and an autonomous Dimitsana Museum. Co‑housing with the Public Library is shown to hinder both institutions, while the Antonopoulos mansion is proposed—after refitting—as a dedicated venue. Stronger oversight is sought for key monuments such as Philosofou Monastery, the ‘Secret School’, Aimyalon Monastery and the Kolokotronis wine‑press. Cultural protection is explicitly linked to development potential.
