The exhibition "Punti Alti e Leggeri - Omaggio ad Anita Pittoni" was held during the month of December 2015 in the prestigious Sala Ex AIAT in Piazza dell'Unità 4B.
The exhibition, sponsored by the City of Trieste, was organized by the Association Stitch’nd Spritz Trieste in collaboration with Jamieson & Smith and Rennie under the historical supervision of Laura Vasselli and Rossella Cuffaro.
Donna Lynne Galletta was the translator for the project.
From an artistic perspective, the exhibition aimed to highlight the techniques and knit and crochet production of this eclectic native-daughter in an original interchange between hints of modernity in the past and enthusiasm for the rediscovery of this age old manual work.

The idea for the exhibition came from a group of enthusiasts who are members of the Stitch‘nd Spritz Association and retraced – in a modern key – the techniques, forms and colors of the “exceptional fashion” created by Anita Pittoni in the early 1930s.

The exhibit offered the unique possibility to admire, in person, several scarves, sweaters and shawls created by Anna Pittoni which, till now, could only be seen in the faded black and white photographs published in “LiL. Lavori in lana”, published in Torino for which Anita Pittoni was editor-in-chief between 1933 and 1934 for the Lane in Borgosesia Company.
