A guided tour dedicated to the exhibition Piero di Cosimo’s La Maddalena: art, history and women’s lives in Renaissance Florence aimed at the understanding of the work of the Florentine master and the artistic and artisan tradition of the end of the fifteenth century. Works, illuminated manuscripts, precious fabrics, pottery, glasses and goblets, knives, rings and wedding chests, terracotta altars, jewels and caskets allow to know the extraordinary aesthetic and technical quality of the so-called decorative arts in Renaissance Italy, where a fabric, a pitcher, a jewel were an integral part of the same cultural and productive universe as a painting or a sculpture.

LOCATION: Palazzo Venezia's entrance, via del Plebiscito, 118
