124 photographs chronicle Italy's transformation from 1960 to 1975 at Museo di Roma in Trastevere

The Museo di Roma in Trastevere presents 124 photographs documenting Italy's social and political upheaval between 1960 and 1975. The exhibition, curated by Raffaele Orlando, draws from agency archives, including the Farabola archive, featuring anonymous press images that originally had a short lifespan. The photos capture industrialization, traffic jams, civil passion, armed conflicts, feminist struggles, and the golden age of cinema. A yellow thread on the walls connects the images, emphasizing their role as historical documents. Notable images include the construction of the Morandi Bridge, symbolizing both engineering miracles and tragedy, and scenes of feminist protests. The exhibition highlights a period of optimism and cruelty, laughter and violence, and a level of active civic participation that has not been matched since.
