Che Guevara Exhibition Opens at Bologna's Museo Archeologico

exhibition · 2026-04-26

A major exhibition titled 'Che Guevara tù y todos' opens at the Museo Archeologico in Bologna on March 27, running until June 30. Curated by Daniele Zambelli, Flavio Andreini, Camilo Guevara, and Maria del Carmen Ariet Garcia, the show presents over 2,000 unpublished documents from the Centro de Estudio Che Guevara in Havana, including letters, notes, diaries, photographs, official and private images, autograph writings, and period videos. The exhibition is structured in three narrative levels: historical and geopolitical context, biographical events, and intimate personal sphere featuring unpublished poems written by Guevara to his wife Aleida. The title quotes a verse from a poem he wrote before leaving for Bolivia, where he was captured and killed on October 9, 1967. Curator Zambelli emphasizes the aim is to reveal the person behind the revolutionary icon, avoiding epic glorification or moral judgment, and instead stimulating reflection on his historical significance.
