Museo Croce Rossa

Overview

The old curator illustrates the itinerary of the museum in Castiglione delle Stiviere (Mantova). Amongst the grand buildings decorating the charming town of Castiglione delle Stiviere, there is a palace which recalls one of the most significant pages in the history of human solidarity and international human rights. It is the elghteenth-century palace Triulzi-Longhi, in which, in 1859 the International Museum of the Red Cross has been installed, to witness that one hundred years earlier, in Castiglione the idea of what today is the most important humanitarian organization in the worl found its origins thanks to the bright sensibility of a young businessman from Geneva, Henry Dunant.
