Teresa Bandettini was one of the most
talented eclectic woman of the XIX century, born in Lucca in 1763. She is well
known as "the intellectual dancer" due to her captivating and
touching extemporization performances. She was so talented that she became the
first woman to be admitted to the Arcadia Academy with the name of Amarilli
Etrusca. The aim of this project is to give her the deserved place in Art and
History and celebrate her creative genius: since she is almost unknown I
decided to portrayed her through a series of diptychs inspired by Teresa
Bandettini's feminine character and the deep
knowledge she could source to create her art.
