Museo diffuso della resistenza, della deportazione, della guerra, dei diritti e della libertà, Historical museum in central Turin, Italy.
The Museo diffuso della Resistenza, della Deportazione, della Guerra, dei Diritti e della Libertà has its interpretation centre in the 18th-century Palazzo San Daniele of the Quartieri Militari, at Via del Carmine 13 in Turin. Its multimedia and interactive displays trace the city's history from 1938 to 1948, and the route includes an anti-aircraft shelter.
The museum opened on 30 May 2003, created by Turin's municipal, regional and provincial authorities together with institutes studying 20th-century history and the Resistance. Its permanent display covers 1938 to 1948: the racial laws of 5 September 1938, the Allied bombings of Turin, the German occupation after July 1943 and the partisan resistance, ending with the 1948 Constitution.
The museum's name refers to a network of fifteen marked memory sites across Turin, treated as an extension of the museum itself. The final room of the permanent exhibition explains these places, tied to Mussolini's fascism, the Nazi occupation, the partisan resistance and civilians' efforts to survive the war.
The museum is housed in the 18th-century Palazzo San Daniele of the Quartieri Militari, at Via del Carmine 13, in the Polo del '900. The visit follows a multimedia route with headphones: as you stand before each display module, you hear the historical explanation. The route ends in a room presenting fifteen signposted places of memory across Turin.
An underground air-raid shelter located about 12 meters below ground is part of the museum's historical collection. This shelter allows visitors to experience the conditions under which residents sought protection during bombardments.
