The women who inspired the great painters
A story by Lucia Margherita Marino
Valentina Escobar - soprano and scholarship Giovanni and Rina Tardito 2025*
Sara Musso, Luca Cometto - piano
Wives, daughters, mothers, sisters, cousins, lovers, models without whom the masterpieces of Botticelli, Leonardo, Titian, Caravaggio and many others would not exist (or would not be as we know them). Of many we know almost nothing, of others only a few details or that part of their existence that was intertwined with the artist. They are the forgotten subjects of great works of art and, for one evening, the only protagonists.
