The National Museum of the Risorgimento Italian proudly welcomes the photographic exhibition “Industrial Landscapes: A Journey into the Urban Transformations of Turin”, curated by Mauro Vallinottoa leading figure in the panorama of Italian photojournalism, as part of the program Turin Capital of Business Culture 2024. The exhibition, open to the public from 24 April to 26 May, presents a meticulous work of photographic documentation that illustrates the complex territorial transformations that have occurred in Turin and in the main municipalities of its metropolitan area over the last half century.
Made with the collaboration of Turin Industrial Union and included in the Exposed program of the Torino Foto Festival 2024, the exhibition offers an opportunity to explore the past, present and future of industrial suburbs, highlighting their complexity and opportunities linked to the regeneration of large urban spaces.
A journey between past, present and future
The photos exhibited visually narrate the stories of the different communities and reflect on the social, cultural and technological changes that have shaped these places over the last 50 years. This visual story allows us to understand the concrete actions implemented by institutions and many local associations to design an informed future for cities and communities.
Mauro Vallinotto, born in Turin in 1946, is the protagonist of this exhibition. His long career in the field of photo journalism has led him to document a vast range of topics, from social conditions to politics, from sport to industrial architecture. Through over 150 covers and numerous books published, Vallinotto has captured the essence of an ever-evolving era.
The introduction to the exhibition, curated by Silvano Costanzo, offers a penetrating look at the images on display, taken from a period that profoundly marked the evolution of the city and its communities. Through his photographs, Vallinotto invites us to reflect on the transformations that have made Turin an urban center in constant change, testifying to the transition from the industrial past to the future yet to be defined.
