Eva vs Eva, the double value of the feminine in the Western imagination

Villa d'Este and the Sanctuary of Ercole Vincitore. 11 May – 3 November 2019

The exhibition dedicated to the world of women: "Eva vs Eva, the double value of the feminine in the Western imagination" set up at Villa d'Este and the Sanctuary of Ercole Vincitore. The exhibition will be displayed until November 3, 2019.
The exhibition, born from a collaboration between Villa Adriana Institute and Villa d'Este - Villae, the National Roman Museum and the Archaeological Park of Pompeii, under the scientific direction of Andrea Bruciati, Massimo Osanna and Daniela Porro, analyzes the spirit of women: from reassuring symbol of motherhood to ambiguous force of nature.
The exhibition intends to give value to the female figures that history, collective imagination and interpretation have relegated to a role or a stereotype.

It is possible to admire, in a single narrative path, masterpieces of the National Roman Museum, of the Archaeological Park of Pompeii and of Villa Adriana, but also of numerous other institutions and private lenders who have contributed to the construction of this exhibition project.
