Held in Florence in 1929, the First National Exhibition of History
of Science was a pivotal event in the shaping of Italian cultural
panorama. With more than 8000 items on display coming from public
and private lenders, it showed the general public how rich the
Italian scientific heritage was and how it could be regarded as
part of a general nation-claiming narrative, thus laying the
foundation for today's protection policy and scholarly research.
Moreover, it is also a telling case-study that offers precious
insights into the complex relationships between cultural
enterprises and political power during the fascist era, helping us
understand how today's geography of Italian cultural institutions
have been shaped and reshaped through time.
