Memories of the past, 
present anxieties, 
future expectations.

open up to the projects of contemporary artists.
Meetings, clashes, experiments,
all to be seen,
all to be understood

Orientalist and Traveller
Henry Dunant at Castiglione delle Stiviere

In difficulty for his colonial enterprise in North Africa, and driven by the desire to obtain an audience from Napoleon III, Henry Dunant arrived in Castiglione delle Stiviere on 25 June 1859, in the hours following the battle of Solferino and San Martino. In Castiglione, he was hosted in Palazzo Pastorio. This stay changed his life. And gave him the idea of the Red Cross.
