Alessio Volontè's photography exhibition in Lecco's Torre Viscontea explores the iron industry along the Gerenzone.
It follows the stream from Laorca to its mouth, through workshops, dams, sluice gates, wheels and channels. Officina Gerenzone APS curates the exhibition with the municipality and the city's museum service. The exhibition rooms are on the first floor, reached only by stairs with a handrail.
