The travelling photographic exhibition Preserviamo la memoria stops at the "La Fonte" Library in Vignate from 5 to 14 November 2026. The project originates from the local history sections of the eight libraries of the Sistema bibliotecario Nord Est Milano and recounts how the small communities of the area have changed, along with the places and the people who have lived in them. The exhibition consists of eight panels, one for each library in the system, illustrating the work of collecting, cataloguing and caring for local historical documentation. Alongside this, there is an invitation to citizens: photographs, letters, documents and testimonies kept at home can be shared with their library, so that a private memory becomes collective heritage. The initiative is organised by the Sistema bibliotecario Nord Est Milano with a contribution from the MIC fund for the Promotion of Reading 2025.
