On 22nd November at 6pm Angelo Benessia is presenting the new exhibition at the Archivio di Stato, a collection of various and priceless book treasures, on show until 29th January.
Entirely supported by the Compagnia di San Paolo and set up to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Italian unification, the exhibition goes from Emanuele Filiberto di Savoia’s reconquest of the country in the mid-16th century to Italian unification and its early developments, following a leitmotiv of different cultures and how they intertwine over the years.
