DESCRIPTION:
Company archives and museums. In Italy, the creation and opening to the public of company archives and museums is a phenomenon that has become increasingly important as part of Italian cultural history since the Second World War. There are already more than a hundred such archive-museum establishments in the country, containing paper documents, advertising materials, photographs, videos, artefacts, machinery and manufacturing equipment. This guide introduces the reader to the most famous cultural heritage sites that preserve, enhance, communicate and exhibit material evidence of a company’s, a district’s, or a manufacturing tradition’s economic activity. They provide information about the company, as well as the environment in which it operates and which it has helped to transform.
