A meeting to face memory head-on.

The event explores the birth of a secular cult surrounding the martyrs of the Ten Days of Brescia, analyzing the processes by which the death of the patriots was transformed into a symbolic foundation of civic and national identity.

At the center of the reflection are the bodies, relics, rituals, and commemorative practices: elements that have made sacrifice a living matter, capable of occupying public space and remaining over time. A memory constructed, preserved, and displayed, which has contributed to redesigning the face of the city.
