Heritage Landscapes vol.38
Between architecture, design, fashion, food, technology. With no limit to our curiosity.
1. Main Theme
Today, many of these testimonies are preserved in Independent Voices, an open access archive that collects hundreds of digitised periodicals produced between 1951 and 2016. Journals that offer a valuable insight into the countercultural communication of the second half of the 20th century, representing not only a historical testimony, but also a source of inspiration for the future of the independent press, because, as we know, archives are not only custodians of the past, but also help us imagine alternative paths for the future.
— John McMillian, historian

3. Memory Lane. Things that happen, and we want to remember
The 2025 edition was extraordinarily well attended: almost 500 organisations from all 20 Italian regions, 45 territorial or thematic networks, 200 in-presence events spread across the country, a live programme in Turin, and hundreds of unpublished digital content. These numbers confirm Archivissima as a great festival for archives, the only one in Italy and Europe capable of promoting and enhancing archival heritage in all its forms.
