ART EXHIBIT
With over 70 works from Michelangelo, Bronzino, Giorgio Vasari, Rosso Fiorentino, Pontormo, Santi di Tito, Giambologna and Bartolomeo Ammannati to name a few, the focus is on the period marked by the patronage of Francesco I de’ Medici. The Medici Family’s history can be traced back to the 13th Century but it was Francesco’s influence on the art in Florence during the late 1500s that this exhibit explores.

MILAN DESIGN WEEK
Each time it is very hard to say what was the best exhibition of Milan Design Week. However, there are always some single exhibitions that make our hearts beat faster and make us think that a three-zeroes cost of a single piece of design is a reasonable price.
