Story of the collection

The Bella Ciao collection is dedicated to the mondine, seasonal workers who came to work in the rice fields of Piedmont from the end of the 19th century to the middle of the 20th century to pull out weeds and prick the rice. For nearly a century, thousands of Italian women spent several months of the year hunched over doing difficult, intense, and poorly paid work.

Their famous pre-feminist and pre-revolutionary songs inspired masterpieces of Italian neorealist cinema, and their demands transformed the Italian historical landscape.

Bright shades, wild flowers and the insolence of angry youth: the Bella Ciao collection is designed to be colorful, and pays tribute to several generations of women who fought for their rights.

The result of a collaboration with the Italian artist Federica del Proposto, known among other things for her portraits of women involved in History, the Federica is a nod to Silvana Mangano, the most famous mondina of cinema.

“How can we represent the women of the Mediterranean? I like the idea of ​​representing a proud and strong woman, contrary to the everpresent image that sees her as a fragile being who needs to be protected. I like to think that the women of this region mirror the Mediterranean sea: intrinsically strong and in continuous movement towards an increasingly culturally rich future.” Federica del Proposto

What makes the Federica square unique : the great softness of silk chiffon, ideal for enhancing summer outfits.
