From 9 to 14 November 2026, Naples hosts the Istat centenary exhibition "Contiamo l'Italia. Contiamo per il futuro" at the Maschio Angioino, with the inauguration and seminar held in the Sala dei Baroni.
The opening-day programme includes the seminar "100 anni di Istat. I dati raccontano il Paese," focused on the role of official data in understanding the present and the future. The Naples stop places national statistical history alongside local transformations in Campania and Naples.
What visitors will see
The exhibition is built around an immersive cube with audiovisual projections and a multivision programme made up of ten thematic films. Together they present a century of Italian demographic, social and economic change through official statistics.
The format is travelling and digital: rather than a conventional display of documents, visitors enter a projection space where the ten films trace Italy's statistical history. For readers following the regional economy, it is a concise overview of how a century of change has been measured.
How Naples fits the national tour
The Naples dates are part of a wider Istat centenary tour involving multiple Italian cities. Istat describes the tour as an effort to bring official statistics closer to citizens, developed with collaborations including Opera Laboratori and Punto Rec Studios.
In Naples, that national story is given a local anchor. The accompanying discussion looks at Campania and Naples through historical statistical data, connecting the country's long-run transformations with the city hosting the event.
