Colour and black and white masterpieces by Italian and international female photographers such as Diane Arbus, Margaret Bourke-White, Lisetta Carmi, Regina José Galindo, Gerda Taro, Lisette Model, Sandy Skoglund, Marina Abramovic, Tina Modotti, Gina Pane, Francesca Woodman, Nan Goldin, Sophie Calle, Cindy Sherman, Inge Morath highlight the artist’s extraordinary talent and creative vision.

What’s on display?

The display is developped around two core clusters: empathy and the search for one’s identity. According to this vision, the exhibition is divided into four chapters: “The search for the self between female identity and social roles”, “Sympathies”, “Women, fashion, costume”, “On the spot. Inside current affairs”.
