The exhibition - the first entirely produced, organized and promoted by the City of Abano Terme through the Villa Bassi Rathgeb Museum - is the result of a study and in-depth work on the Museum's permanent collection and in particular on the nucleus of works by Cesare Tallone, giving particular emphasis to the artist's female portrait production, which tells the story of the role of women in Italian society between the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
