About Sandokan – La Tigre Ruggisce Ancora

An immersive journey into the 19th-century Southeast Asia, through the pages of Emilio Salgari and his heroes. The exhibition Sandokan – La Tigre Ruggisce Ancora brings historical documents, ethnographic objects, installations, and sounds to the Orangerie of the Royal Villa of Monza, bringing the world of the Tiger of Malaysia to life. A path that intertwines adventure literature, history, and exotic charm, set in one of Lombardy's most evocative monumental settings.

Sandokan returns to Monza

The exhibition Sandokan – La Tigre Ruggisce Ancora is hosted at the Orangerie of the Royal Villa of Monza (Province of Monza and Brianza) and offers a total immersion journey into the 19th-century Southeast Asia, through the literary imagination of Emilio Salgari and his most famous hero, Sandokan, the Tiger of Malaysia.

Between literature and history

The exhibition path combines the fantastical elements of Salgari's novels with authentic historical documents, ethnographic objects, images, and sound installations. This creates a multi-layered narrative that, on one hand, celebrates the popular success of Sandokan's stories—across novels, TV series, and cinema—and on the other, reconstructs the historical and cultural context of the Indo-Malayan world that inspired Salgari.

An immersive exhibition at the Royal Villa

Conceived and produced by Vertigo Syndrome, with curation by Francesco Aquilanti and Loretta Paderni, the exhibition features loans from important national institutions, including the Museum of Civilizations in Rome, RAI, and the National Film Archive. The setting is the Royal Villa of Monza, one of the most significant monumental complexes in Lombardy, which with this exhibition confirms its vocation for major cultural events capable of attracting a broad and diverse audience.
