Copies of a newspaper from two 19th century travelers, the collection of an Italian diplomat, and the feats of six courageous women: these are the themes of an exhibition interpreted by three eclectic creatives, each with their own style and language.
For this 2025 exhibition, research has focused on the diplomat Cesare Poma (1862-1932) and his invaluable collection of artworks, books, coins and periodicals. Within the ‘Poma Periodici’ collection are the newspapers featured in the project. This publication was founded, written and published by the French journalists Lucien Leroy and Henri Papilland, who traveled around the world by bicycle at the end of the 19th century.
While studying the global journeys of both Poma and French journalists, an increasing number of female travelers emerged - women who, in the heart of the Victorian era, set off alone on their own tour du monde. Diverse in their backgrounds and approaches, each of them represented a new way of experiencing travel and redefining their era. They all defied social conventions and helped shape a new model of womanhood.
The visit will last about 1.5 hours and include the exhibition path, the Sistine Hall, the Writer’s Hall and other historical areas of the library that are usually inaccessible to the public. We will be guided in English by one of the exhibition curators.
When: Friday, December 19 at 6 pm
Where: Vatican Apostolic Library, Cortile Belvadere, Città del Vaticano
Donation: 27 euros per person (if there are 10 people on the tour)
Register and pay online. Maximum 10 people!
