The bronze sculpture by Dario Verda, gifted by the sculptor to the municipality of Bissone, depicts one of these women, bent over the water, rubbing the fabric on the wooden board with a large piece of soap. An ancient gesture which expresses the hard work of women in our villages when life still depended on nature's resources. Next to her is a basket of clothes that were hung out to dry on the lines stretched along the shores, where the nets awaited expert hands. Similar scenes took place in nearby villages in the wash houses, fed by spring waters.
