Turin exhibition traces 80 years of women's progress in Italy
An exhibition about women's history in Italy opened in Turin on October 10.
Called “Women of the Republic,” it uses photographs to trace 80 years of change, from 1946 to 2026.
It includes the 21 women elected to Italy's Constituent Assembly, among 556 members, and the first woman to enter the judiciary in 1965.
It also covers a law that establishes femicide as a separate crime.
The exhibition has a national section on major events and figures, and a regional section on women who shaped Piedmont.
It is in the entrance hall of Palazzo Lascaris, which houses Piedmont's regional council, and was made with the council.
Visitors can see it until November 30.
An ANSA exhibition tracing 80 years of women’s rights gains in Italy opened in Turin.
“Le donne della Repubblica” runs through November 30 at Palazzo Lascaris, the seat of the Piedmont Regional Council.
The exhibition follows national milestones and the contributions of women to Piedmont’s history from 1946 to the present.
Its story ranges from 21 women elected to the Constituent Assembly to a law introducing the standalone crime of femicide.

This story does not have two clearly opposing sides.
The gains in women’s emancipation, at least in public institutional life, which we rightly take for granted today, are in reality a recent achievement.
It tells of women who have crossed different worlds, often entering spaces where until shortly before their presence seemed exceptional.
The ANSA exhibition opened in the atrium of Palazzo Lascaris in Turin.
The exhibition is scheduled to close.
