Forte Albertino

from 28.06.2008 to 26.10.2008

“Messaggeri alati. La colombaia militare del Forte di Vinadio” originates from a series of historic material from the collection belonging to the heirs of the gallery’s last commander, warrant officer Sky Marshall Stefano Giavelli. The exposition is not only limited to the reconstruction of the pigeon’s role in the field of military communication, but it leans strongly on the use of new multi-media technologies in order to involve the tourist and make him or her reflect upon the inseparable bond uniting war and communication means. Video-testimonials, documentaries filmed at the time and edited by Istituto Luce and modern video-installations, combining use of images and sms (short message services) in an interactive game articulate the course of the tour and help re-create the authentic atmosphere of the pigeon-loft.
