It uses a mix of informative panels, old film posters and hand-made billboard paintings by traditional hoarding artists in an engaging style. Next to these, Giuliana Camerino presents, as a tribute to India, her original trompe l’oeil toiles for the Roberta di Camerino collection of dresses, designed in the 1960’s, inspired by the drapery of the Indian sari.
