Thematic sites - Municipality of Milan

The exhibition project curated byFerruccio Parri National Institute e Anna Kuliscioff FoundationIn partnership with House of Memory.
Under the patronage of Aem Foundation-A2A Group and the contribution of Cariplo Foundation.

Inserted as part of the "Milan is memory" program, the exhibition entitled "A mayor outside the Municipality: Angelo Filippetti" focuses on Milan and tries to shed light on the political and social metamorphoses that the city experienced between 1892 and 1922 starting from the specific perspective of the Mayor Angelo Filippetti - doctor, scientist and socialist - whose very rich private archive was donated, by family members, in 2019, at the Parri Institute and which was reorganized thanks to a contribution from the Aem-Gruppo A2A Foundation.

The in-depth study of his figure and his social and political work, too often forgotten, will allow an unprecedented look at the history of Milan, from the crisis at the end of the century to the advent of fascism; to return the story of a visionary and progressive mayor to his city.

From Filippetti's personal archive - which is opened to the public for the first time - a compelling plot emerges which the curators have decided to illustrate by crossing the gaze of historical research (coordinated by Jacopo Perazzoli of the University of Bergamo) with an exhibition evocative, entrusted to Paola Fortuna's studio +fortuna.

The exhibition is open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 10:00 to 17:30.
