L'Aquilana, Maria Agamben Federici (1899–1981) was a remarkable woman whose dedication to justice, equality, and democracy left a lasting impact on Italy.

Hilde Lotz-Bauer's photographs from 1930-1943 offer a unique perspective on Italy during that period. The opportunity to see 200 of her images in the Trastevere exhibition sounds like a wonderful experience, providing a glimpse into the magic of Scanno, Abruzzo and other Italian landscapes. Art has a special way of transporting us to different eras and immersing us in the beauty of the past.
