Verified profile

A project born from a single intuition and developed in two locations, the National Museum Collezione Salce in Treviso, and the National Museum of Palazzo Besta in Teglio in Valtellina. Two exhibitions united by the same concept, conceived by Sergio Campagnolo, for an initiative promoted by the Ministry of Culture - through the regional directorates of national museums in Veneto and Lombardy, the Veneto and Lombardy regions, with the collaboration of various territorial institutions. The focus of the exhibitions, both included in the Cultural Olympics Program for Milan Cortina 2026, is the story of the evolution of winter sports from the pioneering experiences to the establishment of sports tourism, through changes in daily life and the profound impact on the mountain landscape. Each of the two exhibition venues - the Salce Museum and Palazzo Besta - addresses, in an original way, the story of what has been an extraordinary evolution of customs, as well as the economy. 70 years after Cortina hosted the 1956 Winter Olympics and 20 years after Turin 2006, dates that marked the history of skiing and winter sports, visitors to the two exhibitions are led to share great stories, achievements, and values. The first to open its doors is the exhibition in Treviso, A MAGICAL WINTER. White emotions from the Salce Collection, hosted by the National Museum Collezione Salce, curated by Elisabetta Pasqualin. The exhibition, set up in both venues of the Treviso Museum, in Santa Margherita and San Gaetano, will be open from November 21, 2025, to March 29, 2026. Documented there is a true social revolution, when winter, once a feared season that for many, especially in the high mountains, meant poverty, difficulty, and isolation, transformed into the best time for mountain communities and their guests. The exhibition brings back to life the magic of snow-capped peaks, the atmosphere of the ski resorts in the Alps when skiing and winter sports, from pioneering enterprises, became activities accessible to all, the birth of Christmas markets, festive moments at high altitudes... All that has made the winter season beautiful. As is known, the Salce boasts the most important Italian collection of historical posters, and several beautiful ones will be exhibited, some never before shown to the public. A section will be dedicated to Christmas Movies, very popular productions, whose posters are often signed by the greatest Italian poster artist, Renato Casaro. Posters will be just one of the elements of this extensive exhibition. They underlie the story of transformation and the history of the evolution of the Venetian and Bellunese mountains, from a land to escape from to a destination to aspire to. And the birth of the world-renowned boot industry in the Treviso area. In the exhibition, in addition to the posters, there will be video documents, memorabilia, boots and sports equipment, historical materials and documents, to offer an engaging and precise narrative. The exhibition in Treviso collaborates with important loans from the Emigration Museum of Belluno and the "Boot and Sports Footwear Museum" of Sportsystem in Montebelluna. Among the "relics" of the latter, boots and materials designed and created by the craftsmen of the Montebelluna companies, worn by the greatest champions.
