Rossana Rossanda. The Girl of the Twentieth Century. Her Papers in Florence

Exhibitions

Readings, Conferences, Meetings

From November 29, 2025, to January 9, 2026, the State Archives in Florence will host the exhibition Rossana Rossanda. The Girl of the Twentieth Century. The exhibition traces Rossana Rossanda's life from her birth to the founding of “il manifesto” and her subsequent expulsion from the Italian Communist Party in 1969. After being staged in Venice, Rome, Milan, and Bologna, the Florentine leg of the exhibition will feature letters, images, and unpublished documents preserved in her archive.

The section “Letters, images, and documents” not only documents events, encounters, and places, but also follows the thread of the autobiography La ragazza del secolo scorso (The Girl of the Last Century), published by Einaudi in 2005, focusing on subsequent moments in her life as a militant and intellectual, in a thematic journey that intertwines personal and political dimensions.
