Monumenta Italia — Cantiere Madama at Palazzo Madama (Turin)

Dates: 20 April – 6 July 2026. Opening (vernissage): 20 April 2026, 17:00.

Palazzo Madama presents "Monumenta Italia - Cantiere Madama", an exhibition and research project curated by Tea Taramino with artist Irene Pittatore. The initiative examines the scarcity of public monuments dedicated to women and encourages collective reflection on monumental heritage and urban memory from a gender perspective.

Displayed in the Piccola Guardaroba and the Gabinetto Cinese, the exhibition brings together materials produced by the artist: posters, postcards, videos and a banner used in exhibitions, workshops, lectures and public actions. The show blends research findings with visual and performative elements to spark discussion on female representation in the city.
