The exhibition Italiana: Italian Women Who Changed the World highlights the many impressive achievements by Italian women over the course of the last few centuries, until today. These formidable women all greatly impacted the world in one way or another, often also against the odds imposed by a “male-ruled” society.

The selection of 22 portraits includes scientists, politicians, entrepreneurs, artists, humanitarians and writers. These women all accomplished incredible feats and have contributed to the world in ways that still continue to resonate nowadays.
