Archivio Meraviglioso
Archivio Meraviglioso is a digital platform focused on the history of Fondazione Istituto dei Ciechi, a 182 years old organization devoted to the social and cultural inclusion of the visually impaired. The website was designed and developed by Calibro, a studio based in Milan, focused on data driven digital experiences and research, while other partners of the project are cheFare and Wikimedia Italia.
The project deals with the presentation and contextualisation of their vast historical and photographic archive. The different sections allow the user to explore the archive and learn about the institute history.
Calibro chose Editorial New for the headings and Switzer for body text and other UI elements.
Gallery of paintings made by well-known Milanese and Lombard painters to thanks the notable donors that financially helped the institute in the past.
