Servus Inutilis

The exhibition “Servus inutilis. Alcide De Gasperi and Politics as Service” is part of the celebrations of the “Degasperian Year,” a program of initiatives promoted by the De Gasperi Foundation to commemorate the figure of the great statesman on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of his death, which occurred on August 19, 1954.

The exhibition offers a dynamic and evolving perspective on the historical narrative of the Founding Father of democratic Italy and the European Union, updating the thoughts and actions of a believer and politician who loved to define himself as Servus inutilis, whose entire life was driven by the desire to serve the good of all.

After the introductory section, dedicated to the intertwining of De Gasperi's biography and the history of the time in which he lived, the exhibition pathway unfolds in 5 thematic sections that highlight, with the aid of images, posters, and documents, both the principles that have always inspired him and the moral, cultural, and political teachings that he has bequeathed to future generations up to our days.

Free admission.
