Nearly 500 photographs to tell 150 years of history: La Stampa 150 exhibition not only is the story of a century and a half of the daily Turin, Italy and the rest of the world, but it is an opportunity for a real plunge into the past. 150 years come to life through the images that have marked time: almost 500 contemporary and archival original prints, the first 47 pages that have marked the history and eight interviews with directors who have alternated over the years. The exhibition inaugurated on February 9th 2017 at Palazzo Madama, Turin.

They told us their projects dedicated to spirituality, traditions and religious rituals.
