An exhibition to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Monumento alla Resistenza


The Town of San Donato, Milan, is promoting an exhibition to tell its genesis and its inner meaning. The exhibition will be inaugurated for the Festa della Repubblica, on its official date of June 2, 2025, at 4 pm in front of the Town Hall. An excursus consisting of about twenty photographs open to visitors in the atrium of the building, will go through the history of the art work, from its conception by the artist Walter Madoi to its inauguration on May 18, 1975. The statue was commissioned by the Mayor at the time, Carlo Squeri (father of the current Mayor Francesco). For the Anniversary, the administration has created a brochure showing the origins of the Monument and a collection of memories of the Artist's daughters as well as some curiosities, such as the installation of a twin cast of the art work in a little Church in a smalll village in the mountain side of Parma.
