Museo del Vittoriano

The Vittoriano Museum is a museum complex in the city of Rome located inside the Vittoriano monument which includes the famous “Altare della Patria”. In collaboration with the MIC (Italian Ministry of Culture) and EMBT Palzom curated within the structure the audiovisual exhibition “Lessico Italiano, volti e storie del nostro Paese”, creating captivating audiovisual installations in Rome’s historic complex. Experience 36 unique and immersive installations, from historical documentaries to conceptual videos and animated panels.

The purpose of the exhibition was to depict Italian identity through an audio-visual journey, thus narrating the past, present, and future of Italian identity to both young people and children, who may not yet be familiar with history, using the vivid language of moving images and sounds. A recurring theme, akin to a common thread, was the significant collective effort required for the birth of a democracy.

We illustrated the labor behind our existence as free men and women, in a free and democratic country, conscious of our history, the history of our language, and the processes we underwent to create a free and democratic state, where work and the free expression of ideas are safeguarded.

The exhibition’s 36 installations involved numerous different artists and utilized diverse artistic languages and registers, ranging from immersive documentaries to video art and video installations. The visual journey of the exhibition was accompanied by a soundtrack of music and voices. This continuous and omnipresent soundtrack allowed the viewer to immerse themselves in the themes, sometimes creating a dreamlike atmosphere, at other times assuming a solemn character, through suspensions, moments of reflection, crescendos, and diminuendos, becoming a sensory substrate that permeated the entire journey.
