Case Valdesi What to do, what to see

Less publicized exhibitions than others, which are therefore in danger of being missed

We know that there are many reasons to visit art cities or other locations, and there are always plenty of things to do and see in the early months of the year, but we thought we would look for and suggest some less publicized exhibitions that are therefore in danger of slipping through the cracks. Thinking about the duration of this newsletter, which covers the months through March, we have chosen exhibitions that in some way have women as their theme, connecting us to the International Women’s Rights Day onMarch 8.

Florence

In Florence, at the premises of the Bank of Italy, very close to the cathedral on Via dell’Oriuolo, you can visit the exhibition Toward Modernity. Female presences in the art collection of the Bank of Italy. . It is a collection of paintings that tell the story of women’s emancipation, and what still remains to be done, from the late 19th century to the mid-20th century. The exhibition also offers the opportunity to visit rooms of the Bank of Italy Building normally closed to the public.

The exhibition is free from Thursday to Sunday after booking on the official website until March 10, 2024.

Rome

In Rome, throughout the year, the exhibition will be open to visitors. Roma pittrice. Women Artists in Rome between the 16th And 19th Centuries., which offers an opportunity to see paintings by women painters who worked in Rome from the 16th century until 1800, from Artemisia Gentileschi to Angelika Kauffmann.
