📌‘Women with What It Takes’ Exhibition

Exhibition conceived and curated by Federico Marangoni in collaboration with the G. C. Croce Municipal Library.

With universal suffrage, women officially entered public life. They were no longer merely “the wife of” or “the mother of”, but citizens with decision-making power. Emancipation was also reflected in clothing. The way they dressed became a visible symbol of their newly won freedom.

Through mannequins, fashion catalogues and period photographs, the exhibition traces the evolution of women’s clothing in the post-war period.

Free admission

🕒The exhibition will be open to visitors until 28 June at the following times:

Saturdays and Sundays | from 10 am to 12 noon and from 5 pm to 7 pm

The initiative forms part of the Landscape Narrative Festival. This year, the festival forms part of the celebrations for the 80 years since women in Italy first voted in a national election (2 June 1946), a historic milestone that profoundly transformed the country’s civic, social and democratic landscape.
