An immersive digital exhibition for ISTAT’s centenary is scheduled at Palazzo Esposizioni Roma from October 14 to December 2, 2026. The institute’s page, published on October 2, and the venue’s page give its title as “Contiamo l’Italia, contiamo per il futuro”. Admission to Sala Fontana, through Via Milano 13, will be free. [1][2]
The announced exhibition combines documents, images, data and interactive tools to explore how Italy has changed and how statistics are produced. The programme includes visualisations, games, seminars and activities for schools. The exhibition has yet to open: these are the organisers’ announced contents and admission arrangements, not a review based on a visit. [2]
The bright side
Free admission and a programme that includes schools can create opportunities to understand how numbers describe our shared lives. [2]
One idea, in simple words
Statistics are information collected and organised to understand a group of people or events more clearly. ISTAT is the Italian institute that produces official statistics. An exhibition for its centenary is announced in Rome from October 14 to December 2, 2026. It will be at Palazzo Esposizioni and admission will be free. The exhibition will also use images, data and interactive tools. [1][2]
Imagine, as an editorial example, counting how your classmates travel to school: walking, by bus or by car. Organising their answers can help you see the group, beyond the first friend you meet. The exhibition aims to show how data describe changes in Italy. It is not open yet: we are reading the organisers’ programme, not reporting a visit. [1][2]
