Back to the origins

A very meaningful part of the exhibition IL CINQUECENTO A FIRENZE

Yesterday I was in Florence to visit the exhibition about the Italian Renaissance with a friend of mine, Annette.

What a great opportunity to be back writing on my blog. Indeed from February to October this year, I have been busy with a project for a shopping center here in my area.

I would like to explain that my studies about the Italian Renaissance and my visits to places in Italy have a very practical aim: creating something new in the arts & crafts industry with regards to services and products for the travelers. Therefore beyond any results, my break time was well spent. I am getting there!

Tickets to the exhibition IL CINQUECENTO A FIRENZE cost 12.00 euros. I had a reduction to 9.50 euros as I showed the admission desk my COOP member card. The exhibition will be open until January 21st, 2018.

What struck me about the 70 paintings and sculptures at The Cinquecento in Florence was the paintings' colors: lively and common to each other. Several paintings were restored for the occasion by the Friends of Florence. I particularly like the name Friends of Florence as I think of you, the Friends of Cama.

The CHIUSI-CHIANCIANO
TERME train station 

The so-called 'Porcellino' (sweet pig) is actually
a...wild boar! 

Annette and I, we went to Florence by train leaving from the Chiusi train station at 09:09am and took the 07:13pm train back home.

The rest of the day in Florence we visited the Medici-Riccardi palace with the marvelous Benozzo Gozzoli chapel.

Then we attended a conference about Botticelli and Dante at the palace that is located in front of it, the seat of the Region of Tuscany. It's called Palazzo del Pegaso.

Lastly, we paid a visit to the Mercato del Porcellino and touched the wild boar nose!

A famous detail from the Benozzo Gozzoli chapel at Palazzo Medici-Riccardi. It took the artist 20 years to paint one of the most beautiful chapels in the world. What an amazing place to visit!
