Italian railway stations celebrated in Rome photo exhibition

The exhibition 'La memoria delle stazioni' at Auditorium Parco della Musica in Rome (September 16 to November 1, 2022) explores Italian history through railway stations, curated by Cinecittà. It features over 90 original images from Archivio Luce and photographs from Fondazione Ferrovie Statali, plus 20 contemporary shots by Anna Di Prospero. Eight writers—Mauro Covacich (Trieste), Gaia Manzini (Milan), Tiziano Scarpa (Venice), Enrico Brizzi (Bologna), Sandro Veronesi (Florence), Melania Mazzucco (Rome), Valeria Parrella (Naples), and Nadia Terranova (Messina)—contribute personal narratives. Culture Minister Dario Franceschini shares a memory of Ferrara. Cinecittà president Chiara Sbarigia commissioned Di Prospero to address the lack of female photographers in the archive. The show is the first stop of an international tour. A catalog by Marsilio Arte / Archivio Luce Cinecittà will include unpublished works. Educational initiatives will be held at MIAC – Museo Italiano dell’Audiovisivo e del Cinema.
