Milan will be getting a new museum, dedicated to the Italian anti-fascist resistance movements that helped bring down Mussolini during World War II and then helped defeat German forces in Italy.
Milan was an important center of the movement, and the city where partisans seized and hanged the ex-dictator. The museum, which already had €2.5 million raised, will now receive an additional €15 million in government funds to build a new pyramid-shaped glass building, facing a similar building oppsoite the Feltrinelli research institute, which focuses on history and citizen rights.
The head of the museum project, historian Paolo Pezzino, said the museum, whose opening date is not yet announced, will include both objects and multi-media displays.
