Memorandum 2011 – Rome Special Edition

For the first time in the Italian capital, MEMORANDUM, the Festival of Historical Photography, will be opening at the San Michele complex, home to Istituto Centrale per il Catalogo e la Documentazione (ICCD) – MiBAC (Rome).

A selection of the second edition of the Festival, held in Turin and Biella in February and March 2011, will be on display from 2 December 2011 to 13 January 2012. The exhibit will include the social study by Giancarlo Terreo (Cassa di Risparmio di Biella Foundation), the photos of the Crimean War by James Robertson (Alberti La Marmora Archives), the photographic depiction of motor racing between the two world wars (Pirelli Foundation), and the first flights of lighter-than-air craft (the Piacenza Family Foundation).

The Festival seeks to promote these largely unknown images of great historical and cultural value and equally great emotional impact by making them visible – in some cases for the first time – to the public at large. This first Rome edition is the prelude to an even larger event scheduled for this spring and, in the words of Laura Moro, director of the ICCD, “seeks to become a prestigious event thanks to its synergy between public and private archives.”
