Extension of the «Le donne della Repubblica» exhibition at Palazzo Lascaris
Date of the event:
The photo exhibition «Le donne della Repubblica. 80 anni di conquiste nelle cronache dell'Ansa» («Women of the Republic. 80 years of achievements in Ansa's reporting»), staged in the lobby of Palazzo Lascaris in Turin, seat of the Piedmont Regional Council, is extended to Wednesday 30 December 2026. The decision follows strong public turnout and interest in the initiative, curated by Ansa together with the Piedmont Regional Council [1][2].
The exhibition
Through historic images from the archives, the exhibition panels tell the story of women's emancipation, participation and achievement of rights over eight decades of Italian history. The narrative begins on 2 June 1946, the date of women's first participation in a national political vote. It portrays women who left their mark on the country's history and on Piedmont's in different fields: politics, the judiciary, education, science, culture, the economy and sport [1][2].
The visit by the Capriglio delegation
On 11 November 2026 the exhibition was visited by a delegation from the municipality of Capriglio, in the Province of Asti, led by mayor Tiziana Gaeta and accompanied by Giovanna Cristina Gado, a representative of the Associazione Toponomastica femminile. The group paid tribute to Maria Luigia Sibilla Agagliate, portrayed in the exhibition as Capriglio's first woman mayor, serving for twenty years from 1956, as well as a primary school teacher and the first woman to lead a municipality in the Asti area. The delegation was received by the chairman of the Regional Council, Davide Nicco, by council secretary Fabio Carosso and by councillor Debora Biglia [1][2].
Practical information
The exhibition is open to the public Monday to Friday, from 10am to 6pm, with free admission [1][2].
