Exhibition Il viaggio di Eleonora Duse intorno al mondo

This exhibition sets out to explore the artistic world of Eleonora
Duse, an actress who achieved “legendary” status at a time when Italy
was arduously searching for a national identity. With the aim of
providing an overall picture of the actress on the Italian and
international cultural scene in the late nineteenth and early twentieth
century, the show not only highlights her importance for theatrical
life in post-unity Italy but also for its social and civil history in
general.

The exhibition has been curated by Maurizio Scaparro, Maria Ida Biggi
and Alessandro Nicosia, with the assistance of Silvia Griggio and
Marianna Zannoni.
The catalogue is published by Skira.
