Documents and paintings, narrations and colors, voices and images are mixed together to lead spectators through the daily lives and social evolutions during that historical period.

The exhibition will be open from November 9 to January 22 at the Headquarters of the Banco di Napoli Foundation in via dei Tribunali, 213.
