Museo Monumento al Deportato Politico e Razziale

The Museo Monumento al Deportato Politico e Razziale (Museum of Political and Racial Deportation) in Carpi presents the history of political and racial deportation in Carpi and in Italy during the period of German and fascist occupation from 1943-45. Exhibits display physical artifacts from local internees and deportees held in the nearby Campo di Concentramento e Transito di Fòssoli (Fòssoli Concentration and Transit Camp). The museum and the physical site are both administered by the municipal Fondazione Campo Fòssoli, and museum staff facilitate walking tours of the camp grounds. 

The museum is located within the Palazzo dei Pio, an historic castle complex which also houses Carpi’s municipal museum. It was inaugurated in 1973.
