Alfred Nobel, entrepreneur and philanthropist, known as the founder of the prize that to this day bears his name, was also and above all the inventor of dynamite. In the early 1870s, Nobel came to Italy to set up his explosives production plants, thus leading to the foundation of SIPE Nobel SpA. Robert Pettena (Pembury, UK, 1970) carries out a fascinating study on the history and the paradoxes of one of the most complex figures of the late 19th century.
The exhibition Noble Explosion presents a wide-ranging photo survey of SIPE Nobel sites, highlighting the compositional value of the industrial architecture of the factories and their controversial legacy on Italian soil.
