Preserving the Memory: Rediscovering the Archive of Saronno’s Former Pretura
In the heart of Saronno’s former courthouse, a forgotten archive lay hidden and in a state of severe deterioration—legal records, civil proceedings, and documents recounting over two centuries of local and national history.
"Re Archive" chronicles the intricate recovery and preservation effort, made possible by a virtuous alliance of public institutions, cultural authorities, and engaged citizens.
An act of archival rescue that is both technical and symbolic: restoring voice to memory, dignity to history, and a future to a heritage long at risk of being lost.
