Hello friends, in this post I want to share with you, a visit to a very special museum when I was in Turin last week.
I visited the RAI radio and TV museum, because here in Turin there is still a branch of the Italian state TV and in the old headquarters near the famous Mole Antonelliana they have decided to create a museum to tell the story of this world-famous TV.
For those who plan to visit or are on holiday in Turin in the next few days, this museum is located at the Rai production centre and admission is completely free, except that it is only open Monday to Friday.
I can tell you about my experience inside, you can practically go on a journey to understand how communication has evolved over time, from the earliest fittings to the most modern ones, a real journey through history, and I thank the lady who welcomed us who was very kind.
I saw some really peculiar things, TVs with built-in radios, which for my young age I had never seen, he told me that more than 1,200 relics from the history of Italian TV and radio are collected here.
Even in the final part you could experience the filming, anyway thanks to the lady we understood how TV broadcasts worked.
We have seen the first microphones that were invented but also the first telephones but also the first forms of communication that were telegraphs, it seems like so many years ago instead we are talking about almost 100 years ago.
I also saw a radio that my grandfather had and then I don't know what happened to it, which is a pity, because some of them are unique handcrafted pieces.
How nice to see the old TVs, the ones my parents also used, they are beautiful childhood memories, but it is nice to keep the history of this important medium alive.
I like these media rooms, in fact the lady told me that it was restored a few years ago, instead the date of its creation was 1993.
But how strange the old cameras are, and to think that now you can make a YouTube video with just a smartphone, how far technology has come.
In addition to various equipment, this museum also contains stage dresses of Raffaella Carrà and the great singer Mina, as well as other artists, who were used during RAI broadcasts or programmes.
Beautiful relics to be seen live, because they belonged to great Italian artists.
My final conclusion is that I was very impressed by this small museum, which by the way is completely free of charge and which if you are in the area I invite you to visit because it is definitely worth it, I thank you for reading the post and I look forward to seeing you next time.
N.B. Below the first photos I have shared the location so you can find the museum more easily.
