From 27 March to 26 May 2024
Through extraordinary costumes and an ad hoc designed scenography, the exhibition investigates - in particular - the forms of fashion traceable to those who have become true male archetypes of style: the brigands.
The exhibition recounts the evolution of men's clothing, from peasant society and regional tradition to the bourgeois one, up to the contemporary. They are the brigands who, with their exploits, before and after post-unification Italy, are the protagonists, also acting at a clothing level, creating real looks. A journey of styles whose popular codes change over time while keeping the origin alive.
Furthermore, the exhibition, created in collaboration with Netflix, also hosts images and materials taken from his Italian series Briganti, produced by Fabula Pictures and released on April 23.
With loans from the collections of popular arts and traditions of the Museum of Civilizations and from important fashion houses, documents from the Central State Archives, the Library of Modern and Contemporary History - Rome, the Institute for the History of the Italian Risorgimento and the Central Museum of the Risorgimento of Rome, of the National Museum of the Italian Risorgimento of Turin, of the Historical Archive of the «Cesare Lombroso» Museum of Criminal Anthropology of the University of Turin, of the Antonio Pasqualino International Marionette Museum of Palermo.
