Realised in collaboration with theGallizio Archive in Turinthe Beppe Fenoglio Study Centre and with the support of the GAM Turin and the Ferrero Foundation, the exhibition takes place at the Federico Eusebio Civic Museum of Albaa place that holds many prehistoric finds donated by Gallizio himself.

Between 1945 and 1949, Gallizio devoted himself to field research in places already explored by the scholar Giovanni Battista Traverso. His investigations, documented in texts, photographs and unpublished manuscripts, have contributed to rekindle interest in the Neolithic station of Albastimulating new excavation campaigns.
