Masterpieces from the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea are on display with over 60 works displayed in 13 rooms—paintings, sculptures, drawings, photographs, and tapestries—comprising a surprising array of perspectives on real and ideal figures of the female universe, spanning over two centuries of history. Some works are recent acquisitions, starting with Nu Debout, the c. 1906 pastel by Pablo Picasso donated last year by the Cy Twombly Foundation.

The women depicted belong to different worlds, with diverse ages, backgrounds, personalities, and destinies, yet they share the ability to recount a human experience that transcends the time in which they were portrayed.

From Madame Ginoux (Vincent van Gogh's L'Arlésienne), wife of the owner of the Café de la Gare in Arles, to the Marchesa Luisa Casati, the eccentric diva and collector immortalized by Giovanni Boldini; From the wealthy Polish aristocrat Hanka Zborowska (Amedeo Modigliani's Lady with the Collar) to Carminella, a daughter of the people whose story has been obscured by time, but not by Antonio Mancini's brush; from Palma Bucarelli (the woman who revolutionized Italian contemporary art as director of the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea in Rome), painted by Savinio, to the actress Elsa Martinelli played by Giosetta Fioroni.

A female imagery that reveals and generates a multiplication of women's selves through other women. The subjects exhibited act, in some cases, both as representations of reality and as potential variations on female identity. From this arise portraits of women with powerful personalities, their energy exalted thanks to the masterful capture of a revealing gaze, a secret gesture, or a barely held breath.

Produced by the Municipality of Parma and the Galleria Nazionale d'Arte Moderna e Contemporanea, in collaboration with Solares Fondazione delle Arti, and thanks to the support of the Cariparma Foundation and the Emilia-Romagna Region, the exhibition is curated by Renata Cristina Mazzantini and Cesare Biasini Selvaggi.
