Clelia welcomes us
Alongside Vice Admiral Paolo Thaon di Revel, protagonist of the water front of the Great War, from this year at the fortification facility Pisani it is possible to meet an extraordinary woman: Clelia Lollini. A medical lieutenant, with a specialization in surgery, she also fought the battles to demolish the prejudice that relegated women to roles of lesser responsibility, even on the healthcare front. With great courage, during the First World War, she wore a lab coat, entered the operating room and saved the lives of many soldiers.
Doctor Lollili is the new character who animates the virtual area of the Pisani museum.
