Numerous collateral activities closely related to the exhibition’s content are being organized during the exhibition’s opening period at various venues in L’Aquila. These events feature contributions and participation, enhancing the already rich offering of comparisons and previously unpublished studies on L’Aquila culture with thematic insights. This is evident in the temporary exhibition dedicated to the Bedeschini family, father and son, with an open perspective on the Italian and European context.
