The following visionary leaders inspired the creation of the European Union we live in today. Without their commitment and motivation we could not live in the context of peace and stability that we take for granted today. Whether resistance fighters or lawyers and parliamentarians, the pioneers of the EU were a diverse group of people moved by the same ideals: peace, unity and prosperity in Europe. In addition to the pioneers presented below, many others inspired the European project and worked tirelessly to make it a reality. The Founding Mothers: Marga Klompé, Anna Lindh, Melina Mercouri, Nicole Fontaine, Ursula Hirschmann, Louise Weiss, Simone Veil. The Founding Fathers: Konrad Adenauer, Joseph Bech, Johan Willem Beyen, Winston Churchill, Alcide De Gasperi, Walter Hallstein, Sicco Mansholt, Jean Monnet, Robert Schuman, Paul-Henri Spaak, Altiero Spinelli, Helmut Kohl, François Mitterand. The guiding thread of the exhibition is the conviction of these men and women that the peoples of Europe, while remaining proud of their national identity and history, were determined to overcome ancient divisions and build their common destiny together. The exhibition is divided into 20 panels and combines drawings and photographs with a series of bilingual texts, written in Italian and English, in order to reach a national and international audience.
