In the years of the economic miracle, that is from 1958 to 1963, Bologna and the entire Emilia Romagna experienced a very flourishing period of which women were the protagonists.
The photos shown show the female work over a period of time between the Forties and the late Sixties and come directly from the Museum of Industrial Heritage of Bologna (Fondi Aldini Valeriani and Fototecnica Bolognese), from the photographic archives of the UDI of Bologna and the Monte del Bologna and Ravenna Foundation (Fund of the Villani Photo Studio).
