The Project

The project  is built around the forthcoming inauguration of the Virginia Woolf Walk in Turin.

In 2020, Valentina Borla, a graduate from the Department of Humanities, was awarded the 1st prize in the National Competion promoted by Associazione Toponomastica Femminile with her proposal to pose a plaque dedicated to Virginia Woolf in the Gardens in Via Bertolotti in Turin. 

The present project, coordinated by Prof. Prudente, aims at placing the naming iniative into a wider research and dissemination context. To this end, it focusses on the crucial nexuses of the relationship between women and urban spaces, both in the way they feature in literary texts and in terms of actions that can be undertaken to promote more gender equal urban spaces.
