The "WE BELIEVED. The Risorgimento according to Martone" exhibition

Mole Antonelliana, Torino
10 March15 May 2011
Curated by: Alberto Barbera

The principal characters, locations, scenes and moments in the production of Mario Martone’s film on the complex and often dramatic events of Italy’s risorgimento movement, a film that has already won fame following the critical acclaim received at the Venice Film Festival and its even greater success among cinema audiences. This is an attempt to revisit a fascinating work which combines the complexity of historical assessment with a narrative voice of rare expressive power and the exemplary direction of the film’s actors. The 170 stills and photographs are on display at the Mole Antonelliana, supported by a catalogue which raises many issues.

 

The exhibit is available to be set up in other locations.
