The exhibition "Mori in guerra: storie di confine 1914-1945", created by the "Fondazione Museo storico del Trentino" and curated by "Lorenzo Gardumi" and "Michele Toss" with the collaboration of "Elisabetta Antonelli", is housed in the Municipal Library "L. Dal Ri" di Mori, where it can be visited until 24 October.
After being exhibited at the "Ganzega d 'autunno", the traditional event that on 5 and 6 October involved the entire village of Mori, the exhibition "Mori in guerra: storie di confine 1914-1945, is now available in the hall of the municipal library of Mori.
Through photographs and autobiographical testimonies, the exhibition tells the story of the participation of the population of Mori in the two world conflicts.
Both in 1914-1918 and 1940-1945, the first to leave are the combatants, but the unexpected and traumatic evolution of both conflicts also drags civilians with them. Communities are overwhelmed by war events, with long-lasting effects from a human, moral and psychological point of view, devastating both the territory and the local social, economic and productive fabric.
The case of Mori is emblematic of a more general picture.
The exhibition is also an opportunity to tell the stories of the over five hundred soldiers who left from Mori to fight on the fronts of the Second World War.
