Verona confirms its position as a key player on the national cultural scene thanks to the talent of its professionals. On Wednesday, March 4th , starting at 16:30 PM , the Order of Architects, Planners, and Designers of the Province of Verona is offering a talk entitled " Perpetuating Memory. The Exhibition of Italy's Eastern Border at the Altar of the Fatherland " at the M15 Association, the Order's headquarters, at Via Santa Teresa 2.

The event was created to recount the genesis of the national exhibition MEDIF (Exhibition on Dalmatian, Istrian and Fiume Exiles) , the highly successful exhibition hosted at the Vittoriano complex in Rome, promoted by the Federation of Associations of Istrian, Fiume and Dalmatian Exiles – with the Adriatic Coordination, the Multimedia Documentation Centre and the National Association of Venice, Giulia and Dalmatia – and supported by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Culture.

The project is entirely designed by Veronese professionals, who oversaw the concept, multimedia setup, and technical implementation. The initiative's significance is evidenced by the praise from the highest levels of government, having received the attention of President Sergio Mattarella and the support of Minister of Culture Alessandro Giuli.

The meeting, hosted by Alberto Vignolo , vice president of the Order of Architects and editor of the magazine ArchitettiVerona , will open with greetings from the Order's president, Amedeo Margotto . This will be followed by a speech by Massimo Mamoli , editor of L'Arena and member of the MEDIF Scientific Committee, who will explore the value of this testimony. The debate will then focus on Davide Rossi, professor at the University of Trieste and vice president of Federesuli, and representatives of the Ministry of Culture, Fabrizio Magani and Emanuele Merlino (both live), who will analyze the historical importance of the project eighty years after the end of the Second World War.

The technical heart of the event will be entrusted to architects Massimiliano Tita , curator of the exhibition, and Emanuele Bugli and Andrea Frate , co-designers of Studio ABCPLUS of Verona, who will reveal the "texture" of the exhibition itinerary from the initial idea to the final display. A dynamic narrative installation, conceived to stimulate the visitor's attention through variations in geometry and perspective, designed to engage visitors not only historically but also emotionally, through an immersive journey. The experience is guided by two main elements: a dark, material shell that recalls the density of history, and a continuous, suspended Corten steel ribbon, symbolizing the journey through time.

The proceedings will be concluded by Gaia Passamonti of Pensiero visibile , who will focus on the principles of the digital narrative project that met the challenge of narrating a complex and dramatic historical event to a wide audience—from schools to tourists to casual visitors—without losing sight of historical rigor and emotional engagement.

The event represents an important opportunity to reflect on how the technical and creative skills of the Verona area can become interpreters of a shared collective memory, transforming history into an experience of high civic and scientific value.
