Comitato Nazionale per le Mostre is a national Italian body established to coordinate, approve and promote exhibitions, fairs and cultural events across regional and international venues.

The committee emerged amid reforms of cultural institutions associated with initiatives linked to Ministry of Cultural Heritage and Activities and Tourism (Italy), Museo Nazionale Romano, Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna, Uffizi Gallery, Vatican Museums and regional systems such as Soprintendenza per i Beni Culturali.

Influences included legislative measures exemplified by Codice dei beni culturali e del paesaggio, precedents from Conseil international des musées, and cross-border exchanges involving Comité International des Musées et Collections d'Armement and the International Council on Monuments and Sites.
