Carla Lavelli - or Carla Celesia of Vegliasco - was actively involved in the Italian women's emancipation movement. She was a member first of the female Lyceum, founded in 1912, and later, in 1914, of a new association of women born from the Lyceum - the Italian Female Artistic Federation, of which group Carla was elected president.
You've never heard of her blah blah surprise not (woman).
Please pardon any infelicities in this, as I had to read an article in Italian to write it, a task made more difficult than it might have been by the fact that I don't fucking speak Italian.
