Ahead of International Women's Day, the National Gallery of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rome stages Io dico Io - I say I, an exhibition comprising the work of Italian women artists.

The gallery says the show "originates from a necessity to take the floor and speak for oneself in order to assert one’s subjectivity," and "looks deep into the word we already have, feminism."

The artists whose work is on on display include Carla Accardi, Vanessa Beecroft, Lisetta Carmi, Isabella Ducrot, Marisa Merz, Elisa Montessori, Antonietta Raphaël, Tatiana Trouvé and Francesca Woodman.
