Fashion in Italy. 150 years of elegance

This display is un unprecedented and unique event on the history of Italian fashion on the occasion of the celebrations for the 150th anniversary of Italy’s Unification.  It was born from an idea of Alberto Vanelli, the Director of Venaria Reale, and Dino Trappetti, President of Fondazione Tirelli Trappetti and is presented in the new Rooms of the Arts of the restored Reggia di Venaria. Fashion is one of the cornerstones of contemporary Italian identity, a symbol of the country’s creativity, elegance, style and craftsmanship in the world; this exhibition is aimed ad underline and emphasize this fundamental part of Italian history. The display offers around 200 dresses and tells the story of fashion in Italy from 1861 to this day spanning 150 years of the history of fashion organised in two macro-sections extending over two floors corresponding to two different phases of fashion in Italy, the first from 1861 to 1968 and the second from 1968 to today. Here is a video of the display
