For many centuries, clothes have epitomized the social representation of power, wealth, knowledge and religious belief. Fashion is still one of the key elements of Italian culture worldwide. Sebastiano Bazzichetto presents a two-lecture series on Italian fashion throughout the centuries, a journey from Ancient Roman bikinis to Medieval cowls, from Venetian panniers to the ruffled crinolines of the Unified Kingdom, with a special mention of Cinecittà with Visconti and Fellini and their unforgettable, fashionable visual works.
