ASMI-sponsored exhibition: Vivi presenti pugnanti. L’Aventino e l’antifascismo dopo Matteotti

After its first stop in Milan, the ASMI-sponsored exhibition “Vivi presenti pugnanti. L’Aventino e l’antifascismo dopo Matteotti” will now be in Brescia (14 February – 16 March 2025, Sala ex Cavallerizza, Via Fratelli Cairoli 9, 25122 Brescia).

The flyer is attached, and below is a message from Claudia Baldoli:

“One hundred years ago, following the murder of Giacomo Matteotti, some 100 antifascist members of parliament left the Chamber, with the aim to promote a moral question against the fascist dictatorship and to fight Mussolini out of power using the weapons of democracy. They gave life to a laboratory of democracy that expanded throughout the country between 1924 and 1926. Although the experiment was defeated, they left an important legacy to the new antifascist generations in exile and up to the Resistance and the post-war Republic. An exhibition, held in Milan last autumn and now in Brescia from 13 February to 16 March, has reconstructed that history. The exhibition, promoted by the University of Milan (Department of Historical Studies) and Istituto nazionale Ferruccio Parri, received support from the Association for the Study of Modern Italy, which had an important role in helping to obtain funding for the exhibition and is partner of the initiative”.
