We pay 300 EUR/month for this little 170mq apartment. Also we
have about 30 Eur/month for the ADSL line, and 40 Eur/month for
electricity, and that's all about our fixed expenses. We had a
balance that show how we managed to survive here, restoring
computers, acquiring furnitures and what's needed, with about
6000 Eur/year. 

We have only incomes by spontaneous donations and we're
struggling to open our first exibithion to have visitors here,
but it's a slow process because we have no money and so it's
difficult for us to create panels, depliants, and everything
related to a real museum exibithion; we are forced to go slow.
We also need a LOT of work in restoring pieces, in creating a
catalogue/database of all pieces, a catalogue of all books in
our library...and so on...

...and being in Sicilia doesn't help at all :)
It's a real challenge for us! 

meanwhile we're working to change this, to get sponsorships,
fundings and projects to let us survive and do the best!

:)
