The section “Le OGR ieri” (The OGR Yesterday), in particular, retraces the industrial adventure of the Workshops, from the late 19th century to the 1980s, passing through the transformation of Turin, fascism, the wars, and the Resistance.
The section “Le mostre dei 150 anni” (The 150 Years Exhibitions) delves into the contents of the three major exhibitions hosted during the celebrations of the 150 years of the Unification, when the OGR became known as the “Officina d’Italia”.
The section “Fare gli italiani” (Making Italians), rich in written and video content, is entirely dedicated to the main of the three exhibitions, reopened also in 2012 and visited by over half a million people. In the section “Due anni di eventi” (Two Years of Events), starting from the seventh News, hundreds of reports are placed, relating to all the individual events that animated the life of the OGR between 2011 and 2012. “Post.it” is the area of the site that, in short video interviews, hosts the opinions of many prominent guests of the OGR about this extraordinary architectural complex: among them, Roberto Saviano, Marc Augé, Gad Lerner, Niccolò Fabi, Marco Paolini and many others. The “Multimedia” section contains a photographic account of the recent history of the OGR.
