From 17 September to 17 November 2024
From September 17th to November 17th the exhibition "MIKE BONGIORNO 1924 - 2024" will open, celebrating, on the occasion of the centenary of his birth, the great presenter, a protagonist of the history of television, but also of our country. An unprecedented exhibition, rich in memories of the memorable years of his extraordinary career, which will allow the viewer to fully connect with his private and public persona.
The materials on display, many of which are exhibited for the first time, will document the entire human and artistic journey of Bongiorno, enriched with 'many rarities', granted for the occasion by the Mike Bongiorno Foundation, objects and memories that unite multiple generations of fans.
The exhibition aims to tell how his life was not only that of a great communicator, an iconic television presenter among the founding fathers of Italian television, but also of a profound innovator and interpreter of the changes that have crossed our society for decades. With sixty years of career, Mike Bongiorno, "one of the family," represents an extraordinary social and cultural phenomenon that has contributed to building the national identity and collective memory of Italians.
A significant impact within the exhibition will be made by the scenic reconstructions that will contextualize some focal moments of Mike's career, allowing the visitor to traverse various eras and interact live with the world of quizzes. The guiding thread of the journey will be the biographical films, in which, through the presenter's own words, his story from the 1920s to the present day will be retraced.
