The exhibition “Vola Colomba: Triestine Chronicles 1945-54,” a reflective exploration of the period leading to Trieste’s second redemption, will conclude on Sunday, January 12, at the Civico Museo della Guerra per la Pace Diego de Henriquez.
The exhibition delves into a pivotal chapter in Trieste’s history, chronicling the complex post-World War II years when the city’s identity was reshaped. Through artifacts, photographs, and narratives, visitors are offered a glimpse into the political and social challenges faced by the region from 1945 to 1954.
To mark the exhibition’s final days, the museum has scheduled two guided tours, led by Antonella Cosenzi, the curator of the collection. The tours provide an opportunity for visitors to gain deeper insights into the exhibition’s themes and significance:
- Sunday, January 5, 11:00 AM: Admission is free, as it coincides with Italy’s tradition of offering complimentary entry to cultural sites on the first Sunday of each month.
- Friday, January 10, 11:00 AM: Entry requires the purchase of a museum ticket.
The Civico Museo della Guerra per la Pace Diego de Henriquez, known for its dedication to preserving and interpreting historical conflicts and their impact on peace, serves as a fitting venue for this exhibition.
For those interested in understanding the intersection of history, identity, and resilience in this Adriatic city, the closing days of “Vola Colomba” offer a final chance to engage with this critical narrative.
