In their search for wanting to learn more of the ‘human condition’ it seems fortuitous that Tiziana and Gianni Baldizzone and Remigia Spagnolo should meet. Tiziana and Gianni had already felt a need to document women’s’ role in society and how, today, a woman could achieve her aspirations. The combination of the transmission of knowledge […]

EMILY YOUNG, ENVIRONMENTAL SCULPTOR E.Y. was born in London in a family of writers, artists, politicians, naturalists and explorers. She started in art with painting, moving to stone sculpture in the 1980s. Between the late 1960s and the 70s she travelled extensively in Afghanistan, Pakisthan, India, Africa and The Middle East influenced by each country’s […]

THE ENIGMA OF ARTIFICE S.L.’s obsession with flowers was sparked in early childhood by a pressing question about the origins of a flower’s natural beauty. This drove her to uncover the invisible ideas through which nature crafts the structures of its masterpieces. She sought to understand how the components of a natural object evolve into […]

DREAMING FREE FROM NEED R.d.E. embodies ori-geniality, that mechanism of professional dreaming that enables us to break free from self-imposed constraints and the need to conform to others’ expectations. It offers ideas, insights, and opportunities—even in the form of coincidences and meaningful events—designed to nurture talents and brilliance we may not even realise we possess. […]

ABDUCTIVE THINKING She enrolled in the Faculty of Physics to find satisfying explanations for natural phenomena: for what exists and is visible, and for what is not yet seen. This need arose in high school as a reaction to the evasive answers of her science teacher—a mental stimulus that unconsciously activated her dreaming.  P.C.’s hunger […]

CREATIVE-PRODUCTIVE WOMB She dreamed of becoming a teacher—a childhood inclination toward an educational space, the classroom, which, in light of MC.G.’s later life and professional experiences, reflects a primordial image and sensation of a “womb” that propels vitality and growth. This space nurtures and cares in a way that is both creative and transitional. A […]

THE WEFT AND WARP OF THE DREAM L.K. possesses an instinctive attraction to the interplay of letters within languages and the mystery of eternity. As an alphabetician, she fulfills the dream of engraving letters onto enduring materials, leaving behind imprints of humanity’s existence on Earth. L.K.’s dream intertwines the Weft—a consciously chosen path—and the Warp, […]

ACTIVE VULNERABILITY L.B.’s dream—working with stone and becoming a Compagnon du Devoir – was born from a chance encounter with a group of young compagnons who revealed to her the joy of the craft. Lucie discovered her vocation, breaking out of her adolescent shell—one so timid that she could not even ask a passer-by for […]

The dream is not the profession itself, but the sense of anticipation in bringing one’s natural inclinations to life—inclinations that can be shaped into a craft pursued in an original, unique, and non-standardised way, generating economic value and gaining external recognition for its specificity and innovation. It is not an activity driven by business demands […]

THE PERCEPTUAL SHIFT H.’s dream is a profession in the world of diversity—a role where she can see herself reflected as a unique and authentic individual, free from external influence. Her journey of self-exploration began in childhood. In an effort to overcome difficulties and feelings of self-doubt caused by bullying, dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia, H. […]

AMPLIFICATION We can all trace the origins of our dreams within the story of our everyday lives. E.Y.’s dream begins in childhood, intertwined with her connection to stone. It started with the stones of ancient Rome, where she lived as a child, and those of Wiltshire, where she spent her holidays in a primal landscape […]

NAVIGATING THE IMPONDERABLE Inevitable events can deprive people of certain abilities while simultaneously offering them clues to develop others. This is what happened to E.M. At the age of five, she lost the use of her legs in a car accident—her first unmanageable encounter with the imponderable.  There is a wisdom beyond consciousness that knows […]

DREAMING INTELLIGENCE E.H.’s journey is the manifestation of the dream’s intelligence—the profound ability to listen to and comprehend the psychic messages that arise from the depths of the soul. This capacity was cultivated by the Japanese artist as she confronted herself and with an environment that rejected her. To achieve the professional dream that allowed […]

THE FOUR CLANDESTINE WISDOMS The choice of scenography arose in E.A. from childhood games and evolved through a spirit of playfulness—a psychological gateway that, in adulthood, legitimised the professional exploration of sensations associated with achieving results first encountered during childhood and early adolescence. Enrolling in art school gave E.A. her first experience of external validation […]

ECOLOGICAL INTELLIGENCE IN DREAMING Trained as a goldsmith, D.R. spent fifteen years as a stone setter before realising that the impersonal and competitive nature of her work no longer fulfilled her. A sense of rejection toward the jewellery-making environment led her to isolate herself. She experienced a growing sense of emptiness and solitude, accompanied by […]

RECONCILIATION OF OPPOSITES C.M. achieved her dream of becoming a conductor through a mechanism of reconciling opposites. Reflective and introspective, she aspires to create sounds freely and independently on her own, yet she also longs to share music with other musicians. She finds balance by making music collaboratively, guiding others in the process. Raised in […]

CENTRE OF GRAVITY Armelle has chosen a profession that allows her to calibrate sensations, effort, and the movements of her body in the transformation of matter. Transforming matter helps her transform herself. She feels the need for a physical and demanding encounter with the elements. In the interaction between herself and the material, she finds […]

CONVERGENT THINKING, DIVERGENT THINKING Studying brain cells to repair their flaws is A.B.’s professional dream. It stems from a magnetic attraction to astrocytes, guided by two impulses: the pursuit of aesthetic fulfilment through the study of geometric forms in nature, supported by convergent thinking—which observes, analyses, and examines; and the desire for a journey of […]

The exhibition Revisiting the Risorgimento. Turin / Italy: 1884-2024, curated by Alessandro Bollo, Silvia Cavicchioli and Daniela Orta, aims to commemorate, 140 years after the event, the first installation of the Museum of the Risorgimento: the Temple of the Risorgimento within the General Italian Exhibition of 1884 in the Valentino Park, a temporary installation, but of national scope, a prelude to the subsequent establishment, in 1901, of the […]

What is the Risorgimento, and what does it mean today? The Risorgimento is part of the great European nationality movements, from which it draws many of its ideals and objectives. It is a process of rebirth, of political and civil regeneration of the peninsula which, not without contradictions and conflicts, thanks to the contribution of intellectuals, thinkers […]

What is the Risorgimento, and what does it mean today? The Risorgimento is the complex historical, political, and cultural process – not unrelated to the other nineteenth-century revolutions – which, involving different strata of society for the first time, led to the creation of a unified state in Italy. An in-depth critical reading can finally overcome a vision […]

What is the Risorgimento, and what does it mean today? The Risorgimento is considered by most historians to be the historical period between the Congress of Vienna in 1815 and the capture of Rome in 1870 and its subsequent declaration as the capital of the Kingdom in 1871. After about 1500 years since the fall of the Empire […]

What is the Risorgimento, and what does it mean today? On the pediment of the Vittoriano, one can read the dedication of what remains today the most important and significant public monument of united Italy: PATRIAE UNITATI e CIVIUM LIBERTATI. To the Unity of the Fatherland and to the Freedom of the Citizens. The meaning of the […] is condensed in this dual dedication

What is the Risorgimento, and what does it mean today? Hoped for, praised, feared, sanctified, even downsized in that post-war period that understandably condemned patriotisms, the Italian Risorgimento remains a powerful, original, and brilliant historical phenomenon. In just over a century and a half since that clamorous and confused 1848, a clumsy prologue to the mythicized new Europe of the […]

What is the Risorgimento, and what does it mean today? On the occasion of the 150th anniversary of the Unification of Italy, the Risorgimento, a constant theme in the reflection on the identity of the nation, has reappeared as divisive rather than aggregating. Italians, still not “made”, therefore appear extraneous to a univocal identification of the entire population, ready to recognize themselves rather in configurations that […]

What is the Risorgimento, and what does it mean today? The Risorgimento is much more than a chapter in history: it represents the process of building our national identity. It was a moment of great courage, in which extraordinary figures among its protagonists such as Mazzini, Garibaldi, and Cavour imagined a united and democratic Italy, a dream that then […]

What is the Risorgimento, and what does it mean today? To rebuild and strengthen national cohesion in our country. This is what it means for a mayor, today, to refer to the Risorgimento: a season certainly not without contradictions, but marked by the will to broaden participation in political life, to reform the ancient states, breaking down the old models […]

What is the Risorgimento, and what does it mean today? The Risorgimento, as seen from Caprera, is a movement that is still alive in the realization of the objectives pursued by Garibaldi: a cohesive Italy, attentive to rights, especially those of the weakest and poorest, capable of creating in fact that unity for which he had fought so hard. "O my wild one [...]

What is the Risorgimento, and what does it mean today? A deep knowledge and understanding of the Risorgimento are fundamental requirements for building solid critical thinking, which is essential for navigating the present and developing full citizenship. The renovated Museo del Risorgimento Leonessa d’Italia in Brescia proposes a narrative that restores the complexity [...]

What is the Risorgimento, and what does it mean today? Our nation was formed through the Risorgimento process, our system of values is rooted in that era, our cities themselves have a post-unification structure: acquiring a greater awareness of this heritage is beneficial to us, whatever our ideal position with respect to [...]

What is the Risorgimento, and what does it mean today? What does the Risorgimento mean today? The question emphasizes what relationships are still possible between the events that characterized it and our contemporaneity, and what objects, relics, documents, and iconographic works that testify to those events can tell us according to different interpretations. In an institution of [...]
