From 10 July to 15 October 2024, the exhibition organised by the Fondazione Museo storico del Trentino will take place in Piazza Adamo d 'Arogno. An exhibition that tells the story of the "Società Mutuo succor artieri di Trento".
When, in the second half of the 19th century, small and medium-sized craft industries also spread in Tyrol, there was no public system of economic aid for their families in the event of injury or seniority.
"Mutual aid societies" were the answer that helped members in case of need.
The installation tells the case of the Trento Mutual Aid Society for Artists, founded in 1852, and illustrates a history of projects and aid that change shape over time so as not to lose sight of the needs of society, until its transformation into the Trentino Foundation for Social Volunteering in 1998.
