The Oglio river and Lake Iseo between Bergamo and Brescia, told through industrial photography
The Fondazione Dalmine, in the Municipality of Dalmine (Province of Bergamo), hosts "Confini d'acqua. Il fiume Oglio e il lago d'Iseo fra Bergamo e Brescia", a photographic exhibition that tells the story of the relationship between man, water, and work along the Oglio valleys and the shores of Lake Iseo. The exhibition focuses on the deep link between industry, territory, and community, in a border area where watercourses have shaped the economy and landscape for centuries.
Visitors journey through a visual narrative built on archive photographs documenting the transformation of the landscape during the 20th century. The Dalmine stop particularly highlights the industrial imagery, with immersive projections dedicated to water and landscape, and a specific section on the Costa Volpino plant.
The exhibition is the result of a collaboration between Fondazione Negri and Fondazione Dalmine, with the support of Fondazione Comunità Bresciana and the patronage of Rete Fotografia. It is an example of how two neighboring territories—Bergamo and Brescia—can read their own history together through photographic archives, a fragile and precious heritage of Lombard industrial culture.
The exhibition is hosted in the spaces of Fondazione Dalmine, in Piazzale Leonardo da Vinci 3, a short walk from the center of Dalmine. The venue is easily accessible and is part of a broader calendar of cultural initiatives promoted by the Foundation throughout the year.
The 2026 edition of Confini d'acqua opens with the inauguration on Wednesday, April 15 at 6:00 PM at the Fondazione Dalmine and remains open until Sunday, June 14. The exhibition features archive photographs of the Oglio river and Lake Iseo, immersive projections, and a section dedicated to the Costa Volpino plant.
The exhibition remains open until June 14 during the Fondazione Dalmine's opening hours. Reservation recommended at fondazionedalmine.org.
