2 hours (approximately)

Do you want to know unpublished data about women who were protagonists in History? I will show you secrets from my research in the city archives about silenced women: writers, merchants, founders and administrators of very important institutions in the city... You can't miss it! It is a unique opportunity to discover all the incredible lives of those women who are not in the History books but who remain hidden in our archives! We will go to hidden places that are usually off the tourist circuits, without crowds and many of them even unknown to the locals where these women were protagonists in the past.
