Robert Mapplethorpe. ‘Perfection in Form'
An exhibition dedicated to great American photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, in the twentieth anniversary of his death, will be inaugurated at the Accademia Gallery of Florence on May 26, and run until September 27.
This is the first time that the works of this great internationally renowned artist of photography will be exhibited in a temple of art like the Accademia of Florence, known worldwide as the ‘Michelangelo Museum’ due to the presence of one of the universal icons of art like the David, flanked by the Prisoners, as well as many important paintings by the great masters from the fourteenth century till the full Renaissance.
From its very title, Robert Mapplethorpe, perfection in form, exhibition curators Franca Falletti and Jonathan Nelson intend to express the profound principle that associates the artist of photography with the great Renaissance masters and, in particular, with Michelangelo: the search for balance, the precision and clarity inherent to ‘Form’ that tends toward perfection by means of the geometric rigour of volumes defined by line and sculpted by light.

Illusion, an art
Palazzo Strozzi opens its rooms to the most intriguing exhibition of the year. Art and Illusions. Masterpieces of trompe l'oeil from antiquity to the present day is, in fact, an exhibition that plays constantly on the themes of illusion and innocent deception.
From October 16th to January 24th of next year, a visit to Palazzo Strozzi will be the occasion to see extremely curious, unusual works from Italian and international museums and private collections; but it will also be a moment to play along as the "victim" of a whirlwind of sensorial illusions involving all five senses.
In this way, in the exhibition's ten sections, which follow a chronological order, visitors admiring the trompe-l'oeil, or rather, deception of the eye, will ask themselves: is the artist deceiving me, or is his work a hyper-realistic reproduction of reality? innganni-arte-1

Aperitivo is one of Italy’s most charming traditions and one of Florence’s best kept secrets. By the time I arrived here, in fact, I was under the impression that the term was just a rough translation of the English “cocktail.” I wasn’t so far from the truth, as, in terms of history and etymology, that is what it is. Somewhere in Turin some years ago, some gentleman invented something called vermouth, paired it with light snacks and proposed it as an “opening” to the evening meal.
Over two centuries aperitivo has evolved to become the evening meal. Nowadays, it is customary for the locals en route from work to stop by a favourite bar or club, partake in a cocktail with friends and enjoy a veritable buffet of pastas, vegetables, finger sandwiches, salads and, yes, even light snacks. |
