A fascinating journey into the heart of European art and culture.
The artist Andrea Valleri and the exhibition curator, Marianna Savrami, will guide you through a world of evocative paintings and extraordinary sculptures, skillfully connecting the past to the present.
Among the ruins of Greek temples, where words become paths interrupted by time, let yourself be carried away by the harmony of fluid movements in the sculptures.
The “FLORENCE NEW ATHENS” exhibition celebrates the memory of European cultural roots and offers an extraordinary opportunity to explore history and art in a unique way.
Florence as the New Athens harks back to a long intellectual journey, perhaps with distant origins in Dante’s references to the classics, in Romantique style, but fully emerges in the project of Cosimo De Medici and, aside from the parenthesis of Savonarola, continues in the Republic of Pier Soderini. Florence as the New Athens alludes to a cultural journey that, originally neoplatonic in nature, culminates in the Galilean birth of modern science; it politically involves Florence and Venice and becomes a universal cultural heritage.
The artist’s perspective highlights the universal value of ancient Greek culture, as antiquity is seen as a dynamic in constant evolution.
The exhibition is free to visit every Wednesday and Friday from 2:30 PM to 5:30 PM, until January 12, 2024, by prior reservation or by calling +39 055 2382762 or by booking through the link provided.
