La giardiniera

La giardiniera

is a collection whose aim is to celebrate the invisible heroines from the past, forgotten by recent history.
The term "Giardiniere" was used to call women belonging to the Carboneria during the first phase of Italian Risorgimento.
The secret society was divided into groups of nine women named "garden" and to get inside a grouping, every woman had to cross a long investigation period.
Giardiniere's motto was "Resolution and perseverance" and "honor and virtue".
