The museum’s headquarters will be in the building designed by the Herzog & de Meuron studio, completing the Integrated Intervention Plan of the Bastioni di Porta Volta, already partly realized along Via Pasubio with the twin headquarters of Fondazione Feltrinelli: the space, a total of about 3,800 square meters, will rise within the municipal area between Via Montello and Via Volta.

The digital project has been realized thanks to the support of the Ferruccio Parri National Institute - Network of Institutes for the History of Resistance and Contemporary Age, which has availed itself of the collaboration and materials made available by the associations supporting the Museum: AICVAS - Associazione Italiana Combattenti Volontari Antifascisti di Spagna; ANED - Associazione Nazionale Ex Deportati nei Campi Nazisti; ANEI - Associazione Nazionale Ex Internati nei Lager Nazionali; ANPI - Associazione Nazionale Partigiani d’Italia; ANPPIA - Associazione Nazionale Perseguitati Politici Italiani Antifascisti; ANRP - Associazione Nazionale Reduci della Prigionia; FIAP - Federazione Nazionale Associazioni Partigiane; and FIVL - Federazione Italiana Volontari della Libertà.

“With the new site,” says Culture Minister Dario Franceschini, “another step is taken toward the National Museum of Resistance the project that will lead to the birth of a national place to preserve memory and pass on to future generations what our mothers and fathers did to give us the freedom that today we take for granted and obvious, while it is not at all. The new site will make it possible to explore and follow the different stages of the project’s implementation and development and tell what the Resistance was all about.”

“Milan is honored to have been chosen to host the National Museum of Resistance a place of memory, shared, preserved and spread, where to keep alive the founding values of our country,” says Milan Mayor Giuseppe Sala. “While waiting to inaugurate the venue, which will be built at the Bastioni di Porta Nuova and will complete an area of the city already dedicated to culture, through the website and social profiles we will be able to begin to know what the Museum of Resistance will tell us all about. Milan is proud of its history and identity as a city of Resistance, and this Museum and its digital channels will give further evidence of this in Italy and around the world.”
