Various cultural initiatives in Italy are focusing on the history of women's rights and the struggle for emancipation.

In Cuneo, the DISAFA Department of Agricultural, Forestry and Food Sciences, in collaboration with Amnesty International Cuneo, is hosting a photography exhibition titled “Stessa lotta, stessi diritti a pari passo” from November 2 to November 16. Featuring the work of photographer Antonio De Matteo, the exhibition tells the stories of ten women advocating for equality and dignity, including figures such as Parisa Nazari and Silvana Agatone.

In Brindisi, the first edition of the “Premio Città di Brindisi – Donne che narrano di donne” will take place on October 30 at the Nuovo Teatro Verdi.
