Campobasso: “Trivento nel tempo”, the photographic exhibition on the history and urban evolution of the municipality.

"Trivento nel tempo” is a journey backwards to discover the places, the people, the history of the Trignino municipality. Inside the historian Town hall in via Torretta n.6 the photographic itinerary was set up, a careful and participatory collection of images that the master Benito Di Zanna, creator of the project, curated with Roberto Landi's Studio 54 Photo, supported by the help of Triventini and created with the patronage of the Municipality of Trivento. The rooms that once housed the municipal offices become rooms dedicated to the photographic story, designed to learn about the history and urban evolution of the municipality. There collection of this photographic nucleus dedicated to the city, in fact, it aims to increase the collective memory of citizens, especially among young people, but it also responds to the need to provide a tool of knowledge aimed at tourists who will thus travel through time and through images.

The journey opens with two compared perspectives: the oldest representation of Trivento, created in 1703 for the work of Giovanni Battista Pacichelli, and a contemporary overview of the city. A symbolic temporal parallelism that suggests the way in which photographs are read, as a look at the past and the present. The images lead the visitor through the years, the places, the people and show the many changes that have affected the urban fabric and the municipal territory. At the end of the nineteenth century, the overall image of Trivento was rendered through the photographic lens, a center that was built on ancient places but which was also able to open itself to change to respond to the needs expressed by modern times. Throughout the XNUMXth century, photographic art captured the numerous transformations that characterized the life of the community: from panoramic photos to the neighborhoods of San Nicola and Piazza Fontana, from the modernization and expansion works of the flat area to civil and religious events or particular events. An important iconographic documentation that returns to citizens as a historical trace from which to start to rediscover places and a sense of belonging.

This photographic nucleus, constituted for tell the history of the country through images, was created to consolidate the link with its past and to build a legacy to be entrusted to future generations. Trivento nel tempo is a collection of photographic shots recovered from personal drawers and transformed into an exhibition itinerary available to Triventini and tourists, a journey into memories that involves people, inviting them to participate, with images and anecdotes, in the construction of Triventino history. The photographic exhibition is a storytelling exercise through which to practice sharing one's past. A past that excites and stimulates people to open the drawers of their memories, to bring to mind private and collective memories, joy and nostalgia, to be handed over to future generations as a community tool.
