L’Esposizione internazionale femminile di Belle Arti (Torino, 1910-1911; 1913). Note su genere, arte e professione in Italia all’inizio del XX secolo

Francesca Lombardi

Abstract

This essay describes the two Esposizioni Internazionali Femminili di Belle Arti, which were the first international events for women artists ever held in Italy. The exibitions organised in Turin (in 1910-11 and 1913 respectively) were promoted by the magazine La Donna. They took place at a very important time for the development of a new status for women artists, giving more visibility and legitimacy to their artistic production. By using archival sources and contemporary documents, the essay describes the way in which this experience took place and highlights the complexity of institutional, social, patronage and matronage network contributing to its success.
