One Dress a Day Challenge
Anything Goes December
Immortal Beloved / Valeria Golino as Giulietta Guicciardi
The combination of bronze and deep turquoise in this gown is quite striking, especially when you add the shimmery wrap. I'm not an expert on the period, but I get the impression this sort of saturated color is more common in continental Europe than in Britain during this time period.
Costumes for this film were designed by Maurizio Millenotti.

1. "It is important to have an abortion and to represent the importance of representing it. Because this is what happened by cutting women off from the opportunity to be artists. They did not represent their private lives, they did not represent their desire, they did not represent their bodies, they did not represent their lives. And all these images are missing from history, but they are especially missing in OUR life. It’s Annie Ernaux who said that there is not a museum in the world where there is a painting called "The abortion”.
So this scene may happen a little abruptly but it’s not to forget that art creates memory...”
This is my favorite painting. It has never been completed."
- Céline Sciamma
2. Untitled, 1998, by Paula Rego. Part of her "Abortion Series" that she created as a response to a failed referendum to legalize abortion in Portugal. Rego's paintings in the series have been credited with changing public sentiment so that a second referendum to legalize abortion in 2007 was successful.
We remember the jubilance of our Argentinian sisters when abortion was legalized in that country in December 2020. Mexico ruled that abortion is not a criminal act in September 2021--in reaction to a copycat law following Texas' shameful law criminalizing abortion. Colombia legalized abortion in February 2022. Meanwhile, folks in the US are bracing for the end of Roe v Wade, when our right to have an abortion would no longer be protected.
