With the support of the “Culture 2000” programme of the European Union, the “Working Heritage” project concentrates on topics related to the conservation of industrial heritage and its inclusion in policies of urban renewal. It relates them to the experiences of historical industrial heritage in different European countries in order to investigate the criteria for the identification of sites and their particular characteristics, as well as the solutions adopted for the protection and upgrading of monuments and industrial landscapes. The four partner countries have selected some cities where industrial heritage management policies have produced innovative results: these cities are the textile centres of the Colònia Güell (Catalonia), Schio (Italy), Roubaix (France), the metallurgical and steel working centres of Terni (Italy) and the Jewellery Quarter of Birmingham (England).

Mines. Light and shadow, identity and territory
Curator: Società Umanitaria, CSC Carbonia Iglesias
Produced by: Società Umanitaria, CSC Carbonia Iglesias; Agenzia Regionale del Lavoro; Archivio Storico del Comune di Iglesias; Archivio Storico Minerario dell'IGEA; Soprintendenza Archivistica per la Sardegna
The exhibition covers the history of the Sardinian mining basin of Sulcis - Iglesiente - Guspinese from the second half of the nineteenth century until 1985. The events illustrated in the images are at the heart of European mining history, given the convergence in the many sites in this basin of Italian, English, French, Belgian, and German companies, managers, technicians and specialized workers. The exhibition documents the activity of extraction, but also the daily lives of the people, through the work of great photographers (Alinari, Besso, Stefani, Mulas etc.) and local photographers who, in their sensitivity, were able to capture moments of fatigue and rest, of celebration and grief, of forms of religiosity and aspects of the ordinary life of a microcosm in which it is possible to trace trends, fashions, and social movements that were present in the rest of Italy and the world.

The great waves of time: the Arsenal of Venice and the Old Port of Trieste
Author: Olga Micol De Caro
Curator: Cristina Morandi
Olga Micol has worked for many years in the photography of suggestion, following a personal path in interpreting places and capturing significant moments. The photographic exhibition I marosi del tempo (The great waves of time) will seduce the spectator with a sequence of dream-like visions that lead one to reflect on how time and mankind work on objects, interfering with their nature and, all too often, forcing them into an evolutionary path that is not always mindful of its effects. The author's attention is focused on the most moving aspects of the places under consideration and on the unique stylistic features that make their environments stand out. Thus, the mystery of the Porto Vecchio (Old Port) of Trieste and the fascination of the old Arsenal of Venice are represented, and at times interpreted by the author, to underline the uniqueness of their products and to emphasize the urgency of their conservation.

The silence of iron
Author: Elia Cosimi

Mineral Water Sangemini: advertising image and business communication
Curator: Simonetta Sperandio
Produced by: the Gruppo Sangemini S.p.A.
The exhibition reconstructs the role of advertising in the business communication strategy of Sangemini. All materials reproduced are part of the Company's business archives. Their re-classification has unearthed a valuable historical and cultural heritage not just for the Sangemini brand but also for the local community that derives its social, economic and political identity from this specific business and the way it operates locally. This exhibition confirms a new willingness to provide access to business archives not just for scholars but also for the general public.
