Itinerary 2
The adventure of
Italian people
Two centuries of history: from before the lira to the euro Coins, banknotes and financial instruments tell us the story of economic events in Italy.
Itinerary
The second MUDEM itinerary is dedicated to Italy's monetary and financial history.
It covers almost two centuries of economic events in Italy.
The story begins with an exhibition of the coins and banknotes that have circulated in Italy, from before the lira to the advent of the euro and ends with a display of the banknotes created for the 'Let's invent a banknote' competition for schools, organized every year by the Bank of Italy.
This part is completed by a video called 'Journey through the economy of a united Italy'.
From before the lira to the euro
This path makes its way through exhibits and is accompanied by videos. 160 years of Italian history and its economic events are told through coins, financial instruments and imaginary banknotes.
