CANTIERE DELLA MEMORIA - Vedegheto Works in Progress - Documentary Exhibition


The documentary exhibition “CANTIERE DELLA MEMORIA - works in progress in Vedegheto” arrives in Savigno for the 41st edition of the International White Truffle Festival.
This small exhibition was born from the work of a local research group that has long been dedicated to collecting and narrating the historical memory of the village. The Frabboni Theatre hosts the expanded version of the summer exhibition, aiming to open it up to a wider audience and bring local history beyond its territorial boundaries. The contents are organized into two complementary and interconnected sections: one with an ethno-anthropological focus and the other with a more historical approach.
