Featured Events in Florence in September 2024 (April Updated)

Starting with the Saracen jousting, a popular event celebrated in the city of Arezzo, the exhibition aims to document war games using prints and drawings from various periods in the Uffizi Gallery, especially the numerous examples of helmets, weapons and armour from the famous collection of the Stibbert Museum. These knightly tournaments became popular in the Middle Ages and continued into the Renaissance, including the Crossbow Palio, which required contestants to have skills in precision, and the ancient Game of the Bridge, a contest of strength to conquer the Ponte Vecchio on foot. Visitors will see the most iconic piece in the exhibition, a 16th-century Buratto or Saracen quintain on loan from the Museo Nazionale del Bargello. Probably a celebration to mark the marriage of Francesco I and Bianca Cappero in 1579, the changes over the centuries have transformed it from a Saracen nobleman to the European warrior we see today. The exhibition emblem is another prestigious work of art, Stefano Della Bella’s Knight in Armour, made for the procession and loaned by the Uffizi Gallery. The sumptuous, ornate costumes and robes evoke the sheer splendor of participating in these spectacular events designed to celebrate the great and the good. In another painting loaned from the CR Florence Foundation, Stefano Della Bella depicts a night procession in the Boboli Gardens in 1637. Arms and armour are loaned by Florence’s Museo Stibbert, which has one of the richest collections of material on the ancient game of bridge in Pisa. Stibbert also loaned a fine set of 17th-century crossbows richly inlaid with hunting scenes, made by a workshop in southern Germany. And the collection of the Ivan Bruschi Foundation lends an interesting letter of challenge from “the unconquered, most glorious and ever-victorious King of the Indies, Brato”, issued to announce the version of the Saracen tournament that was held on August 26, 1674 in honor of Cardinal Corsini, Bishop of Arezzo.

Inaugurated in 1983 in Palazzo Pitti - already famous for being the fashion "temple" of the post-war period - the museum is the first Italian national museum dedicated to the history of fashion, haute couture, the evolution of tastes over the centuries. The new arrangement of the museum offers visitors a selection of rare and precious dresses accompanied by accessories, shoes, hats, fans, parasols, bags, which present through suggestions and samples a vast collection, with a total of more than 15,000 objects, which will be presented over time according to a rotation grouped by type, theme and leitmotif, while always maintaining the standards of the new arrangement, which aims to propose a journey of the evolution of fashion and taste that can be seen in the historical development from the 18th century to the present day. Another characteristic element of the new arrangement is indeed the interaction between dresses and accessories and the most diverse art forms, strongly recommended by curator Simone Verde and museum director Vanessa Gavioli, first of all painting, by comparing the magnificent dresses on display with some fascinating portraits and paintings of the same period, which also helps to make fashion through the representation of painters such as Carle Vanloo, Laurent Pecheux and Jean-Sébastien Rouillard, through elegant portraits of 19th-century artists such as Tito Conti, Giovanni Boldini, Edoardo Gelli and Vittorio Corcos, to get to know some of the most relevant artists of the Italian avant-garde, including Massimo Campigli, Giulio Turcato, Corrado Cagli and Alberto Burri. After all, fashion is by definition an art that has always been in symbiosis with the most diverse disciplines, and the new arrangement of the museum aims to recreate an ideal palimpsest where one can also capture at a glance the relationship between the different arts. Thus, not only between fashion and painting, but also between fashion and plastic arts (the pairing between the handle of a porcelain vase and the sleeve of an 18th-century dress is an interesting one); fashion, theatre and sculpture (the relationship between the Mariano Fortuny dress worn by Eleonora Duse and the face of an actress sculpted by Arrigo Minerbi is a particularly fascinating example); but also between fashion and architecture, the dress closely related to the surrounding historical space, the furniture and the frescoes of the Palazzina della Meridiana; and finally ending with a visual dialogue, thanks to the use of video screens, a virtual reconstruction between the current arrangement and the historical one, from those years in Florence, in the Pitti Palace, in those rooms that we can visit again today, when Italian haute couture was establishing itself internationally as one of the most famous and acclaimed in the world of excellence, according to a tradition that still continues seamlessly to this day.

The exhibition considers the different techniques and forms of self-representation, studying artists who taught at or studied at the Florentine Academy - such as Baldassarre Calamai, who depicted himself in a pencil sketch in 1844, or more controversial figures - such as the forger Egisto Rossi, represented here by three drawings. Among the most important self-portraits painted at the end of the century, it is undoubtedly worth mentioning the two self-portraits by the Florentine sculptor Adriano Cecioni (pen) and the Ticino painter Antonio Ciseri (pencil), who moved to Florence at a very young age. In art prints, the 19th century is represented by three great figures: Domenico Morelli, whose recently purchased rare print, made during his stay in Florence in 1852, is exhibited side by side with another unpublished version of the same subject; Federico Faruffini, with his strange and painful self-portrait; and Giovanni Fattori, who closed the century with his famous zinc etchings, and whose prints and engraving matrices are presented here. Finally, a tribute is paid to a figure who played an important role in the history and formation of the Uffizi collection of works on paper: Anthony De Witt, whose self-portrait dates from 1897, exhibited in the form of a charming etching, corrected in black pencil. The collection of the Uffizi Galleries’ Prints and Drawings Department is one of the most important graphic collections in the world, both in terms of artistic value and the number of works preserved (about 180,000 sheets). The core of the first systematic ordering of the collection dates back to the mid-17th century, thanks to Cardinal Leopoldo de' Medici, although some paintings had already entered the Medici collection in the 16th century, thanks to Cosimo I de' Medici, the first Grand Duke of Tuscany. In addition to being a largely historic collection, it is a precious testimony of the Grand Duke's patronage and, moreover, a collection that, far from closing, has continued to grow, thanks to constant purchases and donations of older works and donations.
