The Social Republic on Lake Garda
Abstract
The legacy of the Italian Social Republic (RSI) has left a dissonant imprint on Lake Garda. The ongoing controversy surrounding proposals for a dedicated museum reveals unresolved tensions. This paper proposes a diffuse museum model, integrating scattered historical sites into a cohesive narrative network. Through thematic routes, public engagement, and educational tools, the project aims to foster critical reflection and ethical tourism, reframing the RSI’s presence within the broader regional memory.
