Gioconda Leykauf-Segantini

Gioconda Leykauf-Segantini, born in 1941 in Maloja, Switzerland, is the granddaughter of the renowned painter Giovanni Segantini. A mother of six daughters herself, she has dedicated her life to researching her grandfather's complex artistic legacy, particularly focusing on his unique representation of women in his works. Gioconda has inherited a wealth of documents from her father, Gottardo Segantini, which she has used to illuminate her grandfather's enigmatic vision and the societal issues he tackled in his art. She continues to engage the public with exhibitions and discussions about Segantini's influence and his portrayal of motherhood.
