The documentary exhibition celebrates the 80th anniversary of the Italian Republic and universal women's suffrage, retracing the three-year period 1945-1948 that saw Bergamo as a protagonist in the democratic reconstruction after the war. Private letters, vintage photographs, electoral posters and archival documents tell the story of the return to political life, the institutional referendum of June 2, 1946 and the first universal suffrage elections, conveying the climate of hope and participation of those years. Set up in the Atrio Scamozziano of the Angelo Mai Civic Library, with satellite sections at Palazzo Frizzoni and the Antonio Tiraboschi Civic Library, the exhibition is organized in collaboration with the State Archives of Bergamo. An opportunity to rediscover the roots of democracy through the documents that marked its fundamental steps.
