'History and geographies' will be inaugurated on Saturday 7 October at the Rossini Gallery in Pesaro.

A new exhibition at the Rossini Gallery in via Rossini 38, a cultural space inaugurated last August to expand the city's offerings and offer starting points for events, exchanges and creative projects on the path to Pesaro Italian Capital of Culture 2024. Like the one that opens on Saturday 7 October at 17pm: 'Stories and geographies. Seven Exhibit Design projects for Pesaro Italian Capital of Culture 2024', promoted by: Municipality of Pesaro/Department of Beauty, Pesaro Museums, University of the Republic of San Marino.

Visitable until October 19th, the exhibition presents the results of the university Exhibit Design laboratory of the master's course in Interaction & Experience Design AA 2022-2023 of theUniversity of San Marino. Led by professors Roberto Paci Dalò and Giorgio Dall'Osso, the students/designers identified themes of cultural interest, activated stakeholder networks, collected testimonies and developed 7 exhibit projects: these are stories that intertwine specific cultural peculiarities and are proposed to citizens as a cartographic reflection on their territory.

Daniele Vimini, deputy mayor and councilor for Beauty of the Municipality: 'it is significant that one of the events leading up to the 2024 Capital is this moment of return of a long and participatory work done by the students of the University of San Marino of the Interaction&Experience Design course who have worked for months in groups visiting the city and its cultural and museum institutions, imagining different types of communication uses for our different spaces: the fish market, the synagogue and Palazzo Mosca just to name a few. It's all a reworking that has to do with the contemporary and has to do with the task that Pesaro 2024 sets itself, of bringing together cultural and study, training and university experiences to make them part of a rethinking of the spaces of reality that we have around us and of culture in a broader sense and its enjoyment.'

The professors explain Roberto Paci Dalò and Giorgio Dall'Osso: the title “Stories and geographies” clearly refers to the subsidiary books of infantile scholastic memory. To be honest we could also add "civic education", a chapter that was quite important some time ago but of which today no memory remains. These projects were carried out in close collaboration with people living in the province of Pesaro-Urbino. In fact, they are the true protagonists and their voices, their looks, emerge to varying degrees in the passion that shines through the projects. Our designers acted from the bottom up, informing themselves and designing systems that enhance some of the cultural facets of a territorial geography that deserves to be explored.'

These are the 21 designers involved: Giacomo Albani, Luca Chiavaroli, Anna di Franco, Giulia Digiorgio, Mario Falasca, Giulio Mazzanti Dolci, Laura Facchini, Lucrezia Marcellitti, Giorgia Martini, Roberta Palermo, Sirio Procacci, Maurizio Raniolo, Rebecca Rizzo, Sara Seu, Alessia Tiberi, Alessia Tormen, Luca Trentalange, Valentina Ugolini, Alessandra Valentini, Luca Zanetti, Margherita Zotti.
