Exhibition panels are displayed in chronological order in the hall’s rooms of the Comune di Dogliani, starting from the entrance portico to the long corridor on the third floor, the room “Sala Consiglio” and the room of the former public prosecutor’s.
The museum itinerary is divided into several sections that retrace the life of Luigi Einaudi even in its most familiar and related aspects to this town.
