Milan: Celebrating the women of Milan's history and culture also means dedicating streets and places in the city to them.
A way to keep alive the memory of these important figures
Milan, like many other Italian cities, has a tradition of dedicating streets, squares, parks and monuments to prominent historical figures. However, until 2017, dedications to men clearly predominated over those to women. In 2017, the city decided to embark on a path towards gender equality, including by choosing to dedicate more streets and places to women who have contributed to the history and culture of the city.
This objective represents an important step forward towards gender equality, which implies not only a fair distribution of opportunities and resources between men and women, but also a cultural change that recognises the importance of women's contribution to society and history.
On the council's website, there is an interactive map to learn more about the places in Milan dedicated to women and their biographies.
