But there is also a great desire to change things.

At the historic art academy in the marble city of Carrara, a new large project is now underway where the students produce sculptures of famous Italian women, sculptures that will then be placed in cities around the country.

- With this initiative, we will show more of the female world and its great contribution to culture, says Luciano Massarri, director.
