Until Sunday, November 10, 2024, the Civic Gallery Mo.C.A. – Montecatini Contemporary Art is hosting an exhibition entirely dedicated to contemporary art: Florilegio Italiano – Artists Invite Artists. This showcase features more than fifty works by renowned Italian and international painters and sculptors who, in response to the project’s invitation, have donated their works to the city’s civic gallery.
The initiative was born in the winter of 2020 with the beginning of a collaboration between the City Administration and Professors Roberto Giovannelli (former professor at the Florence Academy of Fine Arts and Emeritus Academic of the Arts of Drawing), Italo Bressan (former professor at the Albertina Academy and Brera Academy of Fine Arts), Andrea Granchi (former professor at the Florence Academy of Fine Arts and President of the School of Painting at the Academy of the Arts of Drawing), and Gianfranco Notargiacomo (former professor at the Florence and Rome Academies of Fine Arts).
Over the years, the professors have invited other artists to join the Florilegio Italiano project and donate a work of art. More than 50 masters have positively responded to this call, including Luca Alinari, Gianni Asdrubali, Ezio Gribaudo, Riccardo Guarneri, Paolo Minoli, Ugo Nespolo, and Claudio Olivieri.
Framing the exhibition, there will be a series of related events such as the publication of a catalogue, the creation of a film, and free guided tours, also available in foreign languages.
A major contemporary art exhibition, the beautiful Art Nouveau face of the spa town, and the enchanting medieval Tuscan scenery offered by its native village, Montecatini Alto, create an unmissable cultural proposal.
Free admission.
The exhibition, initially scheduled to run until Sunday, September 15, has been extended until Sunday, November 10, 2024.
