23.05.2026 Free guided tour – M9 Museum

By booking a guided tour, you can also gain free access on the same day to the temporary exhibition ‘Pertini. The Art of Democracy’, the first major exhibition ever held in Italy dedicated to Sandro Pertini, the most beloved President of our Republic. The exhibition marks a year of significant anniversaries: the 80th anniversary of the Resistance, the 130th anniversary of Pertini’s birth, and the referendum that established the Republic. A unique opportunity to tell the story of a man who lived through the 20th century and embodied the values of freedom, justice and democracy. The exhibition will be based on Pertini’s extraordinary private collection, now housed at the Museum of Savona: paintings, sculptures and works that the President chose as a reflection of his ethical and civic vision of art. Alongside these masterpieces, archive materials, photographs, letters, period footage and previously unpublished documents – held by the “Filippo Turati” Foundation for Historical Studies in Florence and various Italian institutions, including the Salce Collection National Museum in Treviso and the Sandro Pertini House Museum in Stella – will bring to life the crucial moments of his life and of Italian history. Straddling realism and abstraction, these works reflect Pertini’s free-spirited yet attentive gaze on the present, capable of capturing the tensions inherent in artistic exploration. The exhibition pays tribute to the values of freedom, the Resistance and human dignity, and invites us to reflect on the power of art as an instrument of democracy and shared memory.
