November 10, 2026 / 10.00 am - 6.00 pm

At Le Gallerie di Trento, until 16 May, an exhibition dedicated to over a century of school photography is scheduled, which tells the evolution of class portraiture in Trentino, from the end of the nineteenth century to the experiments of the early 2000s.

Through a rich heritage of images from public and private archives, the exhibition traces the changes in school and society, showing how photography has also been able to reflect cultural, social and costume transformations. From the composed and rigorous poses of the first portraits to the most spontaneous and creative representations, each shot gives a glimpse into the past and the generations that have passed through it.

The exhibition is enriched with an original and unpublished project by the photographer Mario Cresci and photographic stories made by five classes in the area as part of educational workshops. A journey through collective memory, between school, identity and change.

Admission is free.
