The Exhibition

The unbroken connection between the history of the Lira and that of its country will be the object of a great exhibition. Templates, coins, and bank notes will be exhibited along with memoirs that highlight the prominent events in the history of our very own Italy; the events that have marked centuries of national milestones.
The exhibition has been divided into three sectors:

Italian Currency

  • Antique coins from the Roman Empire and other forefathers of the Lira
  • The Italian Kingdom
  • Coinages from 900 A.D. to the end of World War II
  • The Republic

European Currency

  • The forefathers of the Euro, strong currency that circulated in Europe, such as the "Coquette of Athens", or the silver "staters" of Alexander the Great.
  • The 'Number Ones', national currencies from present-day Europe
  • The Euro Era


Italian Bank Notes

  • The first bank note from 1746, countersigned with the #1, AM-LIRE, colonial treasury bills, etc.

The exhibition will be accompanied by an abundance of educational material, multi-medial projections and other useful support items to aid in the social, economic, and cultural understanding of every era being examined.
