From 31 October to 16 November 2026, Vigevano revisits the 1950s and 1960s with the series "Quando Vigevano Faceva Boom - Storie da una città che cambiava". A cycle of meetings, music, exhibitions and guided tours dedicated to the period when the city grew rapidly, amid factories, new housing and a lively cultural scene. The calendar is spread across the Castello Sforzesco, the Auditorium San Dionigi, the Biblioteca Civica "Lucio Mastronardi", the Centro Sociale Anziani di via Sacchetti and the Strada Sotterranea Nuova. The talks cover Italian song, the economy and society of the boom, the relationship between Vigevano and the writer Lucio Mastronardi and the Vigevano painting of those years; two exhibitions, one of painting and one photographic, accompany the programme. The series is organised by the Ecomuseo Sforzesco, with the contribution of the Fondazione di Piacenza e Vigevano and the collaboration of the Comune di Vigevano, the Società Storica Vigevanese, the Biblioteca Civica "Lucio Mastronardi", the Pinacoteca Civica "Casimiro Ottone", the Caritas di Vigevano, Unitre Vigevano and Vigevano Promotions.
