OF CULTURAL EVENTS A FULLINCALENDARTHECITY

from 20 October to 26 March 2023, Florence will host Escher, the re cord-breaking exhibition with more than 200 works by the visionary artist in the spaces of the historic Museo degli Innocenti. The anthol ogy recounts the genius of the Dutch artist who visit ed Italy for the ﬁrst time in 1922, exploring it from north to south and depicting it in many of his works. An absolute must to see is Mr. Arbitrium, the monumen tal sculpture by Emanuele Giannelli, which has arrived in Florence and will stay here until 31 October. It is located on the outer le -hand side of the Basilica of San Lorenzo while the group of sculptures I Sospesi have been placed inside the cloister of the Lau rentian building. You can see very clearly Mr. Arbitrium’s muscles contract as he tries to hold up the building or rather push it away in such a decisive way, it is the sculp ture which represents this ambivalent technique which Giannelli uses in his works: the double meaning that de termines the work as push ing something away or sup porting it. Clinging to history to protect it or enhance it, or perhaps moving it away in order to get rid of such a cumbersome weight? Even if we will never know, we are aware that our choice will be arbitrary, like his name.
