Milan confirms its role as a “moral capital” through its ability to protect and promote the archives and libraries of movements and associations, which from the post-war period onwards have represented the strength and awareness of cultural and political antagonism. On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Radio Popolare, the Libreria delle donne, and Leoncavallo, and the 80th anniversary of the UDI and the Institutes for the History of the Resistance, we will retrace the urban map of Milanese archives and libraries that allow us to understand and value the paths of “fine politics” of which Milan is a witness of extraordinary importance.
