In front of the Galtrucco shop windows, the eyes of millions of Italian women in the twentieth century sparkled. The fabrics that were expertly draped, to which the sketches were then added to suggest the sartorial use of the fabrics and ready-made garments, inspired styles and forms of elegance from times gone by. Today, the exhibition set up in the rooms of Palazzo Morando retraces the years of the historic brand's activity, in a narrative path that starts from the Twenties of the last century, goes through moments of crisis such as the Second World War, but also the economic recovery of the sixties up to the beginning of the new millennium.
