She flew when women were not allowed to.
Rosina Ferrario was the first Italian woman to fly and the eighth in the world to earn a pilot's licence. In 1913, before the crowd at the Aviation Meeting, she climbed and let a shower of red carnations fall from the sky.
She had held her licence for a year. Permission to fly, from no one. When she asked to serve as a pilot during the war, she was refused because she was a woman.
The model dedicated to her has the sharpest edges in the collection: the wings of the golden eagle, watched for hours over the Alps.
