The chair's statement
Luisa Papotti said she was grateful to the City of Turin for the trust shown in her, giving her the opportunity to continue working to promote the Museo del Risorgimento, an institution she described as ancient and of great significance for Turin and for the country. She named accessibility, cultural participation and training as goals for the new three-year term, alongside new projects to enrich the exhibition itinerary [1].
The previous term
In the previous three-year term, the Museo del Risorgimento saw a growing number of visitors, hosted public and private events for the city, and organised conferences and temporary exhibitions, with the aim of bringing the results of the latest historical research on the Risorgimento period to the public [1].
