Curated by Fondazione De Gasperi
Scientific Director: Paolo Valvo
Coordination: Fabrizio Bosio
In collaboration with a group of students from the University of Milan and the Political Training School of the Fondazione De Gasperi

The exhibition aims to guide the visitor to discover the man Alcide De Gasperi through his words and the writings of those who knew him. A mosaic of testimonies – accompanied by valuable audiovisual documentation – from which it emerges how the statesman from Trentino, whose seventieth anniversary of death is being commemorated this year, lived the various circumstances of his personal and public life, often marked by the experience of failure, underpinned by a deep faith and a sincere trust in human freedom. This is what makes De Gasperi, from his early political experiences in Habsburg Trentino to the rebirth of Italian democracy after fascism, an tireless builder, driven above all, as he himself confided a few days before his death, by the “sense of service to others, as indicated to us by the Lord, translated and implemented in the broadest forms of human solidarity, without boasting about the deep inspiration that moves us, so that the eloquence of deeds betrays the source of our humanitarianism and our sociality.”

The exhibition is divided into five sections with a central core to which all refer, indicating the heart, that is, the “united man” De Gasperi. At the exit, there is a video made on the occasion of the De Gasperi celebrations curated by Emmanuel Exitu.
