Fashion at Palazzo Venezia

The history of costume will be central to this journey, which aims to introduce young people to the art gallery of Palazzo Venezia through the contemporary relevance of this theme.
We'll focus on analyzing male and female attire from the 14th to the 18th century: waistlines, the presence or absence of necklines, sleeve cuts, and more will allow us to follow the evolution of fashion through the centuries and trace the resurgence of certain lines or styles in contemporary fashion.
Details such as handkerchiefs, gloves, jewelry, and hairstyles will reveal prevailing social, cultural, religious, or political trends. These details will serve as useful clues for dating a work of art and as necessary pieces for the historical reconstruction of an era.
In the museum halls, students will have the opportunity to pause in front of selected paintings to create graphic sketches of clothing or accessories, which they can later assemble in class.
