Tithe Muse

Teresa Bandettini, also known as Amarilli Etrusca, was one of the most talented eclectic woman of the XIX century, born in Lucca in 1763. She is well known as "the intellectual dancer" due to her captivating and touching extemporization performances. The aim of this project is to give her the deserved place in Art and History and celebrate her creative genius: since she is almost unknown I decided to portrayed her through a series of diptychs inspired by Teresa Bandettini's feminine character and the deep knowledge she could source to create her art.
