Some of the garments on display appear to recall details from individual works at the Pinacoteca. A cluster of dark garments with white accents, including a black-and-white sequined suit and a velvet tailcoat adorned with a floral brooch, emphasise the chiaroscuro dramatism of Caravaggio's Supper at Emmaus (1606). Nearby, mannequins in sand-coloured blouses and cotton trench coats recall the veiled Muslim women kneeling in Bellini's vast St. Mark Preaching in Alexandria (1504-1507).
