100 X 100 PCI A hundred places and a story to explore.

A mobile app created for the centenary of the founding of the Italian Communist Party: it tells the story of the PCI and of twentieth-century Italy through a hundred places, on a map and along a timeline.

The experience

Three ways into the story.

Explore the places

The map shows the hundred places; each one opens an in-depth page.

Place it in time

The same places, sorted by year along a timeline or alphabetically: history is read in space and time together.

Go deeper

Each page has a place, a date and a text, with video, audio, photographs and original archive documents.

The link with the places

The story can be met on the street too.

The app gives directions to reach each place and keeps track of those already visited. With notifications on, it tells you when you are near one of the hundred places: the digital content connects with the physical one.

An archive that can grow.

People can “like” the pages and see which places are the most visited and the most appreciated. Anyone who knows a missing place can report it: once the documentation is checked, it is added in a later update, with the name of whoever proposed it in the credits, if they agree.
