About The Novel of History

Between late April and early June, the Ruralia Museum in Osio Sotto, in the province of Bergamo, hosts "The Novel of History": a series of evenings dedicated to local history and the memory of the territory. Now in its second edition, the event connects the different eras of the 20th century through the story of the transition from peasant civilization to the world of industry in the Bergamo plain. Meetings, presentations, and dialogues between past and present, in one of the symbolic places of the country's rural culture.
