Heroes of the past and present

A narrative journey to learn about the lives and heroic deeds of some of the protagonists of our nation's history: the adventures of Garibaldi between the two worlds, Mazzini's travels throughout Europe, and the brave deeds of the first female patriots. Walking through the halls of the Central Museum of the Risorgimento, participants discover the stories hidden behind the portraits, uniforms and memorabilia of those who, over time, fought for a united Italy. In a dedicated educational support, children reinvent their own figure of today's hero by creating original uniforms through drawing and collage.
