The exhibition path is divided into five main thematic sections: Affections This section is dedicated to the representation of the most emotional, private and familiar dimension of Berlinguer's life, in addition to archival materials, the section is enriched by books, photographs and personal objects belonging to the leader's daily life made available by the family.

In the Italian crisis Elected Secretary of the PCI in 1972, Enrico Berlinguer leads the party in the midst of the Italian crisis, it is this third section that reconstructs the context in which the communist leader operates, retracing the most crucial moments of his political biography until his premature death in 1984, against the backdrop of a profound crisis in society. The global dimension The fourth section presents the global dimension of Berlinguer's leadership. Here are presented the most salient aspects of his political action in relation to the international dimension: reflections on the events in Chile, the redefinition of the relationship with the Soviet Union, Eurocommunism, the liberation movements in Vietnam, the mending of relations with the People's Republic of China, to name a few.
