Women, gentlemen, iron and charity

The exhibition, made up of a series of panels reproducing a selection of documents kept in the Historical Archive of the Municipality of Bienno, introduces the visitor in a path that goes from the beginning of the 16th century to the 19th century: through writings, precious bindings and details of graphic decoration, the documents dialogue with the village in the splendid setting of Palazzo Simone Fè.

The exhibition, which is part of a project to inventory and enhance the municipal archive, is organised by il leggio società cooperativa sociale and supported by funding from the Lombardy Region and the Municipality of Bienno.
