Verona Exhibition Marks 80 Years Since Liberation from Nazi-Fascism
The Museo di Castelvecchio in Verona is hosting a new exhibition to commemorate the 80th anniversary of Italy's liberation from Nazi-Fascism, specifically focusing on the years 1943–1945 and the Republic of Salò. Entitled "80 anni dalla Liberazione dal nazifascismo," the exhibition is set in the Sala Boggian, which suffered bomb damage. It underscores Verona's significance during the Republic of Salò, featuring events like the Congress of Verona on November 14, 1943, and the trial of Grandi order signatories from January 8 to 11, 1944. The display includes works by Tiepolo, Turchi, Rubens, among others. Curated by Andrea Martini, Federico Melotto, Marta Nezzo, and Francesca Rossi, it also offers a digital experience by Culturanuova and a catalog published by Electa, featuring contributions from 18 authors.
