Festa della Donna

It's Womens Month !

Festa della Donna (festival of the woman) was yesterday in Italy. March the 8th marks the anniversary of the day hundreds of Italian women died in a fire in a factory in New York in 1911. It is a day of remembering the tragedy of the past and equally celebrates the women of today.
It was nice to be greeted with smiles and given handfuls of yellow Mimosa flowers yesterday from people on the streets, and in the markets.
In true art school style (and with a feminist prof from the 60's) we celebrated the day with a big dinner at the studio; and as with all affairs here, this was a night to remember... lots of food, artfully decorated cake and cookies of biological parts, wine, and a video screening.

Ladies, don't forget to celebrate International Womens Day on the 10th of this month !
