The exhibition marks an important step in the process of enhancing a place that, because of its history, scale and stratification, represents one of the most significant cultural realities in our country. Models, drawings and project materials accompany the narrative of a vision that looks to the future of the museum in the dialogue between heritage, city and community, in the spirit of a deep continuity with the history of Santa Maria della Scala as a place of care and hospitality.
