Description

The town council of Torelló hired the drafting of a project for the construction of an air raid shelter in the municipality under one of the town’s main squares; a work that due to the haste of events could not be executed.
A non-existent work, in which only this project is available. A unique document: which reminds us of the impact of wars on the population, the situation of vulnerability, emergency. That makes us aware of a drama that is still current in many territories. And that inevitably positions us against fascism and in favor of peace.
