Antequera with a woman's name. Routes through the town

The project has supervised this guide of Antequera. The book offers three different itineraries through the town. The first one is focused on women's labour activities and their spaces inside the township. The second one is devoted to the role of women within the urban and architectonic development. At this point, it has been considered that women had both the roles of users and promoters. For its part, the last route goes over the sites connected with the woman's local religiosity.

Every route offered a different approximation to the place through diverse historical periods. Likewise, a fourth itinerary is proposed focusing on discovering the local women thanks to some object displayed in the Municipal Museum. This is not a regular tour; it can be considered a singular alternative that, thanks to selected pieces, provides us a new approach to women's life, experiences and artistic sphere.

Finally, a brief explanation of streets with women's names or in relation with women's environment is presented. In this respect, it is easy to see how despite women having usually been forgotten of the town's memory, Antequera somewhat has a woman's name.

Lecture [15th December 2011]
Dra. Consuelo Lollobrigida (Università Sapienza di Roma)
“Plautilla Bricci, a woman architect of the baroque-style in Rome”

One of the important aspects of the methodology of this project is to be able to share experiences with eminent academics working in this field. With this in mind we invited Ms Consuelo Lollobrigida, from the Università Sapienza di Roma, to give a lecture entitled “Plautilla Bricci, a woman architect of the baroque-style in Rome”. Plautilla Bricci is considered to be the first woman architect who signed and executed projects in a documented way, and is therefore very important and directly related to our project, in which one of the main aims is to visualize the role of women in architecture.
