A new, single itinerary links the Historic Archive (Archivio Storico), the University’s Historic Museum (Museo Storico dell’Università) and the students’ Front Office, offering antique and modern accounts and documents showing the communication and dialogue with students. Walkable in either direction, the itinerary displays works of art and objects representing the history memory of the university, part of the historic archive – a place of conservation but also of study – whose structures are not planned as simple containers but as display cabinets able to protect and display the collections of documents.
