    Elena Cornaro. Per tutte le altre | Theatre show
    Born in Venice in 1646, daughter of a nobleman and a working-class girl, Elena Cornaro has shown an extraordinary intelligence since she was a child. The father favours her desire for knowledge, passing her down his passion for reading and allowing her to study. Soon knowledge becomes the only love of her life. But in the seventeenth century an educated girl is frowned upon. Thus she begins an obstacle course, made up of brilliant intuitions, difficult choices and resistance, which leads her to become the first graduated woman in the world. Written by Silvia Gualtieri, music by Salvatore Russotto; with Silvia Gualtieri and Salvatore Russotto. Produced by Festival Approdi.
