Press release available only in Italian

With a section of photographs dedicated to the reading of Ferdinando Scianna at Pinacoteca cantonale Giovanni Züst in Rancate, in the Canton Ticino, a few kilometers from the Italian border, this large exhibition (more than 80 paintings and sculptures of superb quality) tells the most important of the revolutions. An upheaval not accompanied by the thunder of the guns, which occurred on the contrary in the silence of homes and schools. The revolution of reading. That meant not only access to information: for the first time it became possible to get in touch with the world that is beyond the village or family, knowing what happens beyond the daily horizon. But that meant above all the opportunity to keep in touch with distant family members, engaged with the front or emigrated.
