Elin Danielson Gambogi (Noormarkku, Finland 1861 – Antignano 1919) was a talented Finnish painter with a cosmopolitan life, despite the oppressive conventions that burdened women at that time.

Danielson, embarked on a painting career, garnered significant acclaim during her experiences, first in her native country and then in France. In the 1890s, she traveled to Italy, where she met Raffaello Gambogi, who later became her husband.

With the “post-macchiaiolo” artist, she lived in Torre del Lago and later in Antignano, where she died in 1919. Her production is characterized by a great interest in natural landscapes and female figures.

Participation in the conferences is free.

The initiative is organized by the City of Livorno with the cooperatives Agave, Itinera, and CoopCulture, and with the participation of the Fondazione Livorno.
