Il Museo è solo una prima tappa di questa ricerca che inizia dal tema della collezione per arrivare a un percorso di consapevolezza e di ri-scoperta di come, nel corso degli anni, in sottofondo alle varie attività svoltesi per e dentro l’Istituto, la linea guida di base sia stata quella di non fornire una assistenza “sterile” a una categoria in disagio, ma di rendere libere e indipendenti le persone in esso accolte.

Building the collection during the months preceding the opening, hidden in the historical events of the Institute, as well as in its cellars ‒ bringing light to history ‒ is a story made of chronicles of single individuals, each with their own tale, their own experience becoming the expression of a more important story: the history of the Institute and that of Bologna. The museum is only a first step in this quest. It begins with the theme of the collection itself and reaches the end through a path of awareness and rediscovery about how, over the years, as part of the various activities held by the Institute within and outside its walls, the basic guideline of the Institute has been as follows: that of not providing a “sterile” assistance to so-called disadvantaged people, but on the contrary empowering them and giving them a sense of freedom and independence. A freedom gained through the instrument of culture and knowledge: from writing and reading, through music, to a solid research that, over the years, has allowed a steady development of high technology devices.
