Celebrating Cultural Heritage: Italian Exhibition on Roman Women Opens in China's Liaoning Province

A Sino-Italian collaboration showcases the vibrant lives of women in Classical Rome, underlining cultural connections across millennia.
With the support of the Embassy of Italy and the Italian Institute of Culture, the exhibition 'She Walks in Beauty: Women in Classical Roman Time' has opened to the public at the Liaoning Provincial Museum in northeast China as of January 1. The exhibition serves as a vivid tapestry of narratives depicting the lives, influences, and enduring legacies of women in ancient Rome approximately 2,000 years ago.

Through rich storytelling, this exhibition offers insights into the diverse roles played by women in a flourishing civilization.

This exhibition is a confluence of cultural artifacts drawn from eleven cultural institutions, including both domestic and international origins.

Displaying 167 items (or sets) of cultural relics, the exhibition is a marriage of relics from the ancient Roman period and China's Han Dynasty (206 BC-AD 220), illuminating the interconnectedness of these significant eras in world history.

Divided into four thematic sections, the exhibition intricately captures various aspects of Roman women's lives—from familial and social arenas to spiritual and aesthetic dimensions.

Through these lenses, visitors are invited to explore historical depictions that bear surprising echoes with contemporary experiences.

Among the notable artifacts are pottery, bronze wares, glassware, and intricate mosaics, each narrating their own stories of everyday life, art, and belief in ancient Rome.

The exhibit thus transcends beyond mere historical observance, encouraging a dialogue between past and present.

The year 2025 will mark a milestone: fifty-five years of diplomatic relations between Italy and China.

This exhibition is an embodiment of the ongoing cultural exchange and mutual understanding between these two nations.

It stands as a testament to the achievements in promoting the inheritance and development of their respective civilizations.

Moreover, the museum seeks to foster people-to-people exchanges, working collaboratively with esteemed Italian counterparts such as Musei Capitolini.

This initiative emphasizes the shared commitment to the protection and progression of human cultural heritage.

Equally, it promotes a sustained global dialogue among civilizations.

Ultimately, 'She Walks in Beauty: Women in Classical Roman Time' not only shines a light on the vibrant histories shared by Rome and China but also underscores the enduring potential for cultural exchange as a vehicle for international collaboration and understanding.
