Museum Itinerary

The itinerary consists of a teaching room and 12 rooms on two floors that retrace the history of Siena of the last century, in a limited period from the First World War to the Liberation. In each room there are gigantographies, audiovisuals, narrative voices, databases, posters and quotations, to welcome and guide the visitor along the way, so as to be able to immerse himself in the atmosphere of the period. On the first floor are reconstructed, in particular, the Squadrism and the advent of Fascism, the dictatorship and the building of consensus, the repression of dissent, and racial laws. On the second floor the main episodes of the partisan struggle are illustrated, the memory of which is documented in video by some of the protagonists, up to the Liberation.

The set-up was designed by Paolo de Simonis and designed by Andrea Rauch. The audio-visuals were made by Silvia Folchi. The works are by Fabio de Poli, Gianni Fanello, Claudio Maccari, Franca Marini, Celso Mireno Ermini, Andrea Rauch, Francesco del Casino.
