The project carried out in collaboration with the Historical Institute of Resistance and the Contemporary Age is configured as a multi-year thematic research activity.

Starting from the early nineties, the works inspired by the tragedies that occurred during the Nazi-Fascist period have given performative form to anot serene art: Bruno Longhi (1991, 2005, 2015), Kinder (2016), Action T4 (2017), Rosa Winkel (2018), Black Bruno Longhi (2019), Viale San Michele. Before the cellars are painted (1990, 2021).
