To tie in with the exhibition, the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi will be holding a cycle of conferences organised by Ludovica Sebregoni, in the course of which leading scholars will be discussing some of the salient aspects of the exhibition in eight lectures held “inside” iconic 16th century sites in Florence and Tuscany, allowing participants to experience and to fully grasp what was a crucial period in the city’s history thanks to the unique atmosphere of the sites.
Admission to all lectures is free of charge, while places last.
