Tina Modotti, an Italian photographer, activist and actress, has left an indelible mark on the history of contemporary photography. Her famous shots, which make up the collections of the most important museums in the world, are the symbol of an emancipated and modern woman, whose photographic art is inextricably linked to her social commitment.
For via Tortona residents, visionary women and beauty lovers, the exhibition “Tina Modotti. Women Mexico and freedom”(May 1st-November 7th) at Mudec has one more reason to be visited. It was in fact dedicated to Giorgia Martone, young manager of Magna Pars Suite, the hotel à parfum in via Forcella, created on the family perfume factory’s headquarters.
The Museum of Cultures in Milan paid tribute with an unusual gesture to this special "neighbor", who passed away suddenly. She enlightened with her beauty and activism this particular Milan district, almost a small creative village within the great city. It‘s recalled: "To Giorgia Martone, visionary and non-conformist entrepreneur, a person who loved beauty and art and with whom we were pleased to share many cultural projects; a proud and kind soul that in many ways reminded us of Tina Modotti, and like Tina she left us too young. This exhibition is dedicated to her ”. Not to be missed.
