Images and trajectories of a 19th century diva: Adelaide Ristori (1822-1906)
Ristori's is an extraordinary female experience. The daughter of modest theatrical actors, she walked the stage as a child. Together with her husband, Giuliano Capranica marchese del Grillo, she started a highly successful theatrical partnership and a career that soon revolved around long tours around the world. The devices, images and paths of an early global celebrity will be the focus of the conversation.
