Pontormo & Rosso Fiorentino Diverging Paths of Mannerism

Palazzo Strozzi will be hosting from 8 March to 20 July 2014 a major exhibition entitled Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino. Diverging Paths of Mannerism, devoted to the work of Pontormo and of Rosso Fiorentino, the two painters who were without question the most original and unconventional adepts of the new way of interpreting art in that season of the Italian Cinquecento which Giorgio Vasari called the 'modern manner'. Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino trained under Andrea del Sarto while maintaining a strongly independent approach and enormous freedom of expression. Pontormo, always a favourite with the Medici, was a painter open to stylistic variety and to a renewal of the traditional approach to composition. Rosso Fiorentino, on the other hand, was more tightly bound to tradition, yet at the same time he was fully capable of flights of originality and innovation, influenced also by Cabalistic literature and esoteric works. Mirroring the precepts underlying the Bronzino exhibition, this exhibition opted for a broad and multifaceted overview of the two great painters' masterpieces, according priority to the formal splendour and lofty poetry of Pontormo and of Rosso Fiorentino so that the exhibition appeals in its clarity not only to the specialist but also to a wider audience thanks to themed sections set out in chronological order. A unique and unrepeatable event bringing together for the very first time a selection of masterpieces by the two artists in Italian and foreign collections, many of them specially restored for the occasion. The exhibition Pontormo and Rosso Fiorentino. Diverging Paths of Mannerism in Palazzo Strozzi celebrates two of Tuscany's most outstanding and most original artists. 8 march - 20 july

Понтормо & Россо Фьорентино Во Дворец Строцци с 8 марта по 20 июля будет открыта выставка, названная «Понтормо и Россо Фьорентино». Разветвляющиеся пути маньеризма, посвященные работам Понтормо и Россо Фьорентино, —двум мастерам, которые без сомнения являлись наиболее самобытными и нетрадиционными приверженцами нового метода интерпретации в искусстве итальянской живописи пятнадцатого века, названного Джорджио Вазари «современным методом». Понтормо и Россо Фьорентино, находившиеся на обучении у Андреа дель Сарто, сохранили совершенно независимый подход и огромную экспрессивную свободу. Понтормо, любимец семейства Медичи, был живописцем открытым к стилистическому разнообразию и обновленному видению традиционного подхода к композиции. Россо Фьорентино, с другой стороны, был более тесно связан с традиционной школой, несмотря на что был способен демонстрировать определенный полет индивидуальности и инновации, вдохновленный также кабалистической литературой и экзотеризмом. Отражая во многом основные принципы выставки Брондзино, эта выставка решила развернуть более широко панораму шедевров этих двух великих живописцев во всем ее разнообразии форм, делая акцент на формальном блеске и высокой поэтичности Понтормо и Россо Фьорентино таким образом, чтобы осветить их творчество не только для искушенного зрителя, но и для гораздо более широкой публики, благодаря тематическим разделам и хронологическому порядку в экспозиции. Выставка Понтормо и Россо Фьорентино. «Разветвляющиеся пути маньеризма» во Дворце Строцци посвящена двум наиболее значимым и наиболее самобытным живописцам Тосканы. 8 марта - 20 июля

Cappelle Medicee Florentine The austere construction that hosts Craftsmanship

the Medici Chapels, created by the family as a huge mausoleum, can be reached from the apse of the Church of San Lorenzo in Piazza Madonna degli Aldobrandini. It is composed of two main parts, the New Sacristy, built by Michelangelo from 1519, and the great Chapel of the Princes, where the Grand Dukes of Tuscany and their families are buried, which dates from a century later . Строгость форм, которая отличает Капеллы Медичи, построенные в качестве величественного семейного мавзолея, была украшена апсидой церкви СанЛоренцо на Пьяцца Мадонна дельи Альдобрандини. Это сооружение состоит из двух частей: Новой Сакристии, построенной Микеланджело в 1519-ом году, и большой Капеллы Монархов, где были похоронены Великие Герцоги Тосканы и члены их семьи, постройка которой датируется веком позже.

Michelangelo, Brunelleschi, Ghiberti, Cellini great artists, but great artisans. The hand skills were essential to express their undisputed genius. This spirit, knowing how to use the hands giving life to unique objects, has been preserved over time. It is part of the DNA of Tuscany. The handicraft workshop, although transformed over the years, is still now a school where one learns a profession. Микеланджело, Брунеллески, Джиберти,Челлини были великими мастерами, но прежде всего они являются духом и частью ДНК Тосканы. Ремесленные лавочки до сих пор являются главным мотором экономики характерным для Тосканы, лежат основе преизводства знаменитых Домов Моды представленых на территории.

Due to lack of space, the Opera moved to its home of today in the 15th century. The new premises were housed in a palace built on an earlier cottage that stood next door to the kilns of the Lorenzo Ghiberti workshop.

Celebrating 450 years from the death of the Artist Микеланджело Буонарроти

Painter, sculptor, architect and poet he was born on 6 March 1475 in Caprese, a village close to Arezzo some 60 miles east of Florence, and died in Rome in 1564. The complete artist, he expressed the ideas of the Renaissance, passing from "realism" to the "beautiful" as the quintessence and glorification of the capacity of man. In 1481, only six years old, he lost his mother and around the age of ten was sent by his father to the grammar school of Francesco da Urbino to start his studies of letters and law, then in 1488 he could start his artistic career entering in the Ghirlandaio's workshop in Florence; in 1489 he is admitted to the Garden of St. Mark where the Medici family had put together a sizeable collection of classical statuary and where he develops his interest in ancient sculpture. His first attempts at sculpture were noticed by Lorenzo dei Medici, who took Michelangelo to live with his family in his palace in Via Larga (now Via Cavour). He fled from Florence in 1494, to return in 1495 in the period in which Savonarola was preaching against luxury and pagan art. Then he went back to Rome (1496) where he created the Bacchus (Bargello) and a few years later he sculpted the famous Vatican Pietà. He re-

Художник, скульптор, архитектор и поэт Микеланджело Буонарроти родился в деревне Капрезе в провинции Ареццо около 60 миль к востоку от Флоренции в 1475 году и умер в почти 90-м возрасте в Риме в 1564 году. Он выразил идеи эпохи Возрождения, переходя от "реализма" к "искусству" как квинтэссенции и прославлению возможностей человека. После окончания учебы, он начал работать в мастерской Гирландайо во Флоренции в очень молодом возрасте (1488), его интерес к античной скульптуре вскоре привел его к частному саду Сан-Марко, где семья Медичи уже собрала значительную коллекцию классической скульптуры. Его первые попытки создания скульптур были замечены Лоренцо деи Медичи, который взял Микеланджело жить в свою семью, в дом на улице Ларга (ныне Вия Кавур) Он бежал из Флоренции в 1494 году и вернулся в 1495 году и в это время создал скульптуру Вакх (Барджелло). Затем он отправился в Рим, где он вылепил знаменитую Ватиканскую «Пьета». Он вернулся во Флоренцию, между 1501 и 1505 и, по предложению Леонардо, приступил к созданию ряда

turned to Florence between 1501 and 1505 and, proceeded to carry out a series of masterpieces: the Pitti Tondo(Bargello), the lost cartoon for the fresco of the Battle of Cascina and the marble statue of David (Academy Gallery), which was placed outside the entrance to Palazzo Vecchio as a symbol of the Florentine Republic but also of the Renaissance ideals of free men and masters of fate. Some times later (probably 1507) he painted the Doni Tondo (Uffizi). On Michelangelo's return to Rome, Pope Julius II gave him a commission that was to weigh heavily on him for over forty years: the monumental tomb of the Pope, conceived as a typical classical mausoleum that united sculpture and painting. In 1508 the Pope gave him another extremely important task to carry out: the decoration of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. This man managed to decorate the five hundred square metre area in four years of very hard work and this Neoplatonic interpretation of the Book of Genesis fully expresses the artistic шедевров: «Дони Тондо» (Уффици), «Питти Тондо» (Барджелло), наброскам для фресок «битвы Кашины» и мраморной статуи «Давида» (Галерея Академии), которая была размещена у входа в Палаццо Веккьо, как символ Второй республики, а также эпохи Возрождения — идеала свободных людей , мастеров собственной судьбы. По возвращении Микеланджело в Рим, папа Юлий II дал ему чрезвычайно важную задачу: украшение купола Сикстинской капеллы. Пятьсот квадратных метров площади были им расписаны в течение четырех лет очень тяжелой работы. В последующие годы он работал в базилике СанЛоренцо во Флоренции, опять же под патронажем Медичи, в первую очередь над дизайном

Frilli Gallery Sculpture Art Studio in Florence Since 1860

ince 1860 Frilli Gallery is a manufacturer of handcarved marble and hand-chiselled bronze sculptures for interior and garden decoration. The Gallery presents a wide range of Greek, Roman, Classical, Renaissance, Art Nouveau and Contemporary statues. The top quality replicas produced are highly valued “lost wax” bronze castings from original molds or hand carved white Carrara marbles, alabasters and stones. During 150 years of activity, Frilli Gallery has become the name of reference for private collectors , hotels, i nterior designers, worldwide museums. Over the years Frilli Gallery pieces have been purchased by royal families, shown at international exhibitions . Throughout this time, the Frilli Gallery has remained true to its mission: to bring “authentic” replicas of pieces of classic and modern sculpture to contemporary residences, villas and parks. “Authentic” replicas may sound as a contradiction in itself. But not many people know that replicas were already popular in antiquity. Most of the classical pieces shown in museums today are actually replicas of lost originals that became even more popular in the Renaissance as Roman and Greek art was rediscovered. There are few private art galleries in the world that can still bring new emotions to the visitors. The Frilli Gallery in Florence is one of those. Masterful replicas to be touched, caressed probed freely with your own hand, fingers. This experience will not leave one unmoved.

1860-го года Галерея Фрилли является изготовителем произведений из инкрустированного мрамора и бронзовых статуй ручной работы для интерьера и садовых декораций. Галерея представляет широкий спектр статуй в греческом, римском, классическом стиле, в стиле эпохи Ренессанса, стиле «модерн» и современном стиле. Высококачественные копии, сделанные с применением техники «потерянного воска» из бронзового литься с использованием подлинных опалубок или выполненные вручную из белого каррарского мрамора, алебастрового камня и других каменных материалов. В течении 151 года деятельности Галерея Фрилли стала отправным пунктом для многих коллекционеров, отелей, дизайнеров интерьера, а также музеев всего мира. За эти годы произведения Галереи Фрилли заказывались королевскими династиями и выступали в качестве экспонатов на международных выставках. Миссия Галереи Фрилли заключается в том, чтобы украшать «подлинными» частицами классической и современной скульптуры нынешние резиденции, виллы и парки. «Подлинные» копии — звучит противоречиво на первый взгляд. Однако, немногие знают, что копии имели огромную популярность уже в древности. Большинство классических произведений, выставляемых на показ в музеях, на самом деле являются копиями утерянных подлинников, которые приобрели особое признание в эпоху Возрождения, когда имело место переосмысление канонов красоты древнегреческого и древнеримского искусства.

ideals of the Renaissance. In the years that followed he worked on the Basilica of San Lorenzo in Florence, again under Medici patronage, first on the design for the facade (1516, later interrupted) and then on the construction of the New Sacristy (1520-34) - opposite the Old Sacristy by Brunelleschi -, with the tombs of Giuliano Duke of Nemours and Lorenzo Duke of Urbino. Here the rules of composition and the Humanistic sense of space are placed in discussion and the dialectic relationship between the architectural elements already expresses the Mannerist doubts. Between 1527 (the Sack of Rome) and 1530 (the siege of Florence), Michelangelo directed the building of the fortifications for the Florentine Republic but, with the fall of the city to Clement VII, he went back to work for the Medici family. Michelangelo spent the last twenty years of his life working in the field of architecture: he started the construction of the Laurentian Library in Florence (later completed following his project and designs by Niccolò Tribolo, Giorgio Vasari and Bartolomeo Ammannati), designed Piazza del Campidoglio and, modifying the project of Bramante, also built the Cupola of St. Peter's in Rome. His last sculptures, carried out between 1547 and 1555, developed the subject of the Pietà: the Palestrina Pietà (Academy), the Bandini Pietà (Museum of the Opera del Duomo), the Rondanini Pietà (Milan, Castle Sforzesco). Michelangelo died in Rome at the age of eighty-nine. His mortal remains were removed from Rome in secret by his nephew to Florence where he is buried in the Holy Cross Church.

фасада (1516), а затем над строительством новых ризниц (1520-34). Между 1527 и 1530 годами, Микеланджело работал в Флорентийской республике, его работа была направлена на строительство укреплений, но с падением Климента VII, он вернулся на работу в семью Медичи. Микеланджело провел последние двадцать лет своей жизни, работая в области архитектуры: он завершил строительство Лаврентьевской библиотеки во Флоренции, перестроил Пьяцца дель Капитолии и, изменив проект Браманте, построил Купол собора Святого Петра в Риме. Его последние скульптуры, выполненные им между 1547 и 1555 годами , это вариации на тему знаменитой Пьета: Палестрина Пьета (академия), Пьета в Домском соборе Флоренции (Музей Опера дель Дуомо), Пьета Ронданини (Милан, Кастелло Сфорцеско). После его смерти, его останки были востребованы Флоренцией, они в конечном итоге были втайне вывезены из Рима племянником Маэстро .

Leonardo Morozzi Concierge Grand Hotel Baglioni +39.055.23580 introduces

The austere construction that hosts the Medici Chapels, created by the family as a huge mausoleum, can be reached from the apse of the Church of San Lorenzo in Piazza Madonna degli Aldobrandini. It is composed of two main parts, the New Sacristy, commissioned to Michelangelo by the Medici Pope Leo X in 1519, and the great Chapel of the Princes where the Grand Dukes of Tuscany and their families are buried, which dates from a century later and is lined throughout with marble and semiprecious stones. From entrance the visit of the museum starts with the Crypt (probably designed by Bernardo Buontalenti) underneath the Chapel of the Princes. The tombstones of the Grand Dukes, their wives and immediate family can be seen on the floor of this low vaulted room. Here a rich collection of 17th-18th century reliquaries linked to the magnificent grand ducal patronage is arranged in a series of glass cases. Two staircases lead up to the Chapel of the Princes above. This sumptuous octagonal environment

above: Michelangelo, the tomb of Giuliano Duke of Neimours

is 28 metres wide and topped by the cupola of San Lorenzo, which reaches a height of 59 metres, the second in grandeur in the city after the cupola by Brunelleschi. It was conceived by Cosimo I, but not carried out until later by his successor Ferdinando I, who, in 1605, commissioned the architect Matteo Nigetti to build it on a design by Don Giovanni de' Medici. Its dazzling splendour comes from the rich inlay work typical of Florence, and the glorious Opificio delle Pietre Dure (Hard Stone Workshop) that was created especially to carry it out. This typically Florentine form of art is still practiced, especially for the decoration of furniture and vases, and reached its greatest heights here, even though the funereal key of the work meant using the more subdued and sombre colours of porphyry and granite.

More colorful stones were instead used for the wainscoting, together with mother-of-pearl, lapis lazuli and coral, in order to reproduce the coats of arms of the sixteen Tuscan cities loyal to the Medici family. The niches were supposed to contain statues of the Grand Dukes, but only those of Ferdinando I and Cosimo II were actually carried out, both of them by Pietro Tacca between 1626 and 1642. The other grand ducal tombs belong to Cosimo I (1519-1574), Cosimo II (the

Новая Ризница была построена в несколько этапов Микеланджело в период с 1521 по 1534 года . Попасть в нее можно из корридора из Капелла дей Принчипи. Свой проект Микеланджело основал на идее Брунелески для Старой Ризницы, но при этом сделал разделение пространства более сложным , с приглушенными арками которые чередуются с пространствами аспидов, создал углубления для монуметальных усыпальниц для Джулиано герцога Немоурс и его племянника Лоренцо герцога Урбино , с изумительными скульптурами Аллегории Времен, расположенными выше. Статуи смотрят в центр капеллы где Микеланджело расположил статую Мадонны с младенцем во чреве. Декорации капелл заканчивают статуи Святых Козьмы и Дамиано, реализованные

successor of Ferdinando I, 1590-1621) and Cosimo III (who succeeded Ferdinando II, 1643-1723). The sarcophagi are really empty and the real remains of the Grand Dukes and their families (about fifty major and minor figures), up to Anna Maria Luisa de' Medici (the last heir of the dynasty, 1667-1743), are preserved in simple environments underneath the crypt. The New Sacristy was built in various stages by Michelangelo between 1520 and 1534 and can be reached along a corridor from the Chapel of the Princes. Michelangelo based his design on the same plan that Brunelleschi had used for the Old Sacristy though he divided the area into more complex shapes, with triumphal arches opening out onto apse-like spaces. He created recesses in the two side walls to hold the monumental tombs dedicated to Giuliano Duke of Nemours and his nephew Lorenzo Duke of Urbino. Two sculptures dedicated to the Allegories of Time are placed on top of each tomb and, above these, one statue

with the portrait of the Dukes. Michelangelo chose the subject of Day and Night for the tomb of Giuliano deĂ Medici, seated, with a proud bearing; and Dawn and Dusk for that of Lorenzo, shown in a melancholy and thoughtful pose. Both the statues look towards the centre of the chapel where Michelangelo carried out and placed a Madonna with Jesus on her lap. By looking towards the sacred likeness, the dukes express the religious inclinations of the artist, who believed that only spirituality and religion can give relief and set manĂs mind at ease when all earthly glories are past. The decoration of the chapel is completed by the statues of Sts. Cosmas and Damian by collaborators of Michelangelo. Lorenzo the Magnificent and his brother Giuliano de' Medici are buried under the simple basement where is the statue of the Madonna, as Michelangelo never found the time to build them a monumental tomb, in fact, he left Florence forever in 1534, leaving the chapel uncompleted.

Besides its historic district and its amazing cultural heritage, Florence has one more attraction to offer. RIMOWA, the luxury travel brand known for its quality, the technological advancement of its products and the instantly recognizable grooved design, has opened its first store in Florence. The store is located in an ideal city center location on Via Porta Rossa, in a wonderful fourteenth-century building. The elaborately restored facilities underline the classy, elegant design of the new RIMOWA store – the perfect environment for the exclusive cases. Besides Milan, Florence already is the second store in Italy. Worldwide RIMOWA has about 100 stores to present the beautiful range of traditional aluminum and high-tech polycarbonate cases. The RIMOWA factory (named after Richard Morszeck, the son of the founder) has been based in Cologne since 1898 and is now in the third generation of family management under owner Dieter Morszeck. With a long history in Cologne, the family business has grown to conquer the travel industry and is now one of the world’s leading premium brands in the luggage segment. In 1937 RIMOWA revolutionized the world of travel when it developed the first-ever lightweight metal suitcase using aircraft aluminum. Since then, the grooved appearance has become the trademark feature of the long-established company. It is no surprise that the elegant design and especially light material of

the products have always been admired by cosmopolitan people who appreciate good style. For around 116 years, the headquarters and internal production facilities of the company have been located in Cologne. Of the 200 processes involved in making a suitcase, most are carried out by hand. ‘We make no compromises when it comes to the quality of our products,’ says Dieter Morszeck, President and CEO of RIMOWA. "Made in Germany" and "German Engineering" mean: outstanding materials, brilliant technology and extraordinary product design, crafted to the highest possible quality. The characteristic grooves in the outer shell of a RIMOWA design make it unmistakable at first sight. Even without a visible logo – when used as a prop in many international film productions, for example – the ‘luggage with the grooves’ is easily recognizable.

Via Porta Rossa, 71-73r Tel. +39.055.212747 www.valigeriagazzarrini.com www.luxuryluggage.it

Until the beginning of the Nineteenth century, in Porta Rossa, at number 13, now 71/73r, was located a shop for production and commerce of saddles and suitcases. In 1911, Giuseppe Gazzarrini, who worked there bought the firm, and specialized in suitcases. The Gazzarrinis, continued with the business in the same place for four generations, with an always renewed commitment. In the Twenties, the firm attended national and international exhibits, with important recognition for the productions’ quality. Despite the 1966 flood damage, the Gazzarrini family activity carried on, so much so, that the firm was the first in Florence to introduce “rigid suitcases”, an American novelty. The fine leather sector, traditionally a quality sector, has its own standing among the best Italian products for the accuracy of the craftsmanship. Here you will find countless precious leather goods and travel accessories, including the brands Porsche Design, Samsonite and Rimowa. The prestigious line Longchamp (of which Gazzarrini is exclusive dealers) completes the bags line. Valigeria Gazzarrini has recently opened a new e-commerce platform called Luxuryluggage. Here you will find the best softside and hardside luggages, shoulderbargs, backpacks and bags from universally acknowledged brands such as Samsonite, Labiena, Orobianco, Tumi and Eastpak. The site offers an exclusive Shop on-Line Live experience: a service that allows you to contact the seller and have immediate feedback to all of your questions or to have a Personal Shopper that a will show live online the desired products and get in touch with what you are going to buy.

Malìparmi Thanks to its products, interior styling and welcoming atmosphere, the Malìparmi boutique in Via del Parione 11, Florence, is perfect for describing Malìparmi world and women and therefore is both ideal for shopping and perfect as a meeting-place. Colour, prints and embroidery characterise the craftsmanship in the 2014 Spring Summer Gathering collection. The geometric patterns and graphics stand out for their pictorial lines, while embroidered, printed or quilted flowers blend in with painted brushstroke strips in various shades. Cashmere spirals and Mediterranean tiles are inspired by the colours of the sky and the sea. The Malìparmi silhouette meets up with the taste of many different types of women: the more masculine types wear trousers with overlays that give them a special look, while the more feminine prefer dresses or skirts with jackets or very feminine buttoned blouses, or, alternatively, long shirt-dresses, for a more informal style, coupled with infrabijoux®. Fine craftsmanship can be seen in the handbags with their two-toned black and white interlaced leathers or in crocheted raffia, which gives them an urban style, or in the beaded and sequined embroidery used for the clutch bags. The footwear includes the laced shoes with small contrasting perforations or patch sandals with touches of colour and multi-coloured tassels and, of course, flat or medium heeled infrabijoux®, which combine femininity with dignity and comfort. The Malìparmi collection is composed of a great many “unique” handcrafted and decorated elements, with which any woman can identify herself and freely mix colours, prints and embroideries to create varying degrees of eccentricity.

The glorious traditions of

Florentine craftsmanship Michelangelo, Brunelleschi, Ghiberti, Cellini great artists, but great artisans. The hand skills were essential to express their undisputed genius. This spirit, knowing how to use the hands giving life to unique objects, has been preserved over time. It is part of the DNA of Tuscany. The handicraft workshop, although transformed over the years, is still now a school where one learns a profession, where the culture of things hand-made, of the taste and of the genius is exalted and handed down. The traditional craftwork lies at the basis of most of the great houses of fashion because they have always made use of the creative talents and manual skills of the local craftsmen, skills usually passed down from father to son, to produce their wares. Florence is therefore a fascinating place to explore when searching for handmade articles. Ornate jewellery, beautiful handmade paper, high quality leather bound books, personalized mosaics and uniquely designed purses and bags are only a few of the treasures hidden within the city. The quality displayed in this craftwork is one of Florence’s distinguishing qualities, giving visitors a reason to make their way into local shops.

Микеланджело, Брунеллески, Джиберти,Челлини были великими мастерами, но прежде всего они являются духом и частью ДНК Тосканы. Ремесленные лавочки до сих пор являются главным мотором экономики характерным для Тосканы, лежат основе преизводства знаменитых Домов Моды представленых на территории. Флоренция, таким образом, со своими тысячами ремесленных лавок открытых для посещения идеальный пункт для начала изучения ремесленного мастерства made-in-italy.

Fratelli Traversari Daniele and Letizia are the fourth generation of the family Traversari devoted, with rare craftsmanship, to the art of creating mosaics. "Our great-grandfather’s workshop was in his house. At that time his specialisation was the creation of refined costume jewelry, objects which are still in our production." From generation to generation the Traversari have guarded secrets and techniques that no school can teach. A tradition began in the end of the Nineteenth century. Three are the craft techniques used to carry out the famous artistic masterpieces: mosaic with cut Murano glass, micromosaic with Murano glass canes and Florentine mosaic in natural semi-precious stones. In the first, the glass tesserae are hand-shaped, one by one, then laid on the supports; in the second, the glass is reduced into rods of different thickness, and their length is tens of meters.In the showroom in Via Senese 68/r, the finished artworks which fill the shelves are joined by

the many thin coloured glass canes similar to "spaghettis," raw material for the creation of the most subtle nuances in the compositions. A marvel. Finally, the result of the Florentine mosaic in natural semi-precious stones are artworks created by this traditional inlay technique of cut and fitted stones, that reproduce images through their natural colours. Pride of the Traversari are objects created on commission, like reproductions of the tabletops preserved in the Museum Opificio delle Pietre Dure in Florence. The original works are also wonderful, created from the sketch to the very last tessera, in months and months of careful craftmanship, or mosaic reproductions of famous sculptures, like Michelangelo’s Pietà. Authentic beauty and uniqueness of the pieces: even the frames are carved by hand. Owning a mosaic Traversari means preserving a unique and original piece of art, because it is handmade in Italy: you will never find another one like yours in the entire world.

Frilli Gallery

Two major projects for this coming Spring From April 8th till April 13th the Frilli Gallery will be at the International Salone del Mobile Fair in Milan. Our marble and bronze statues will be exhibited inside the Pavillion 3, booth B29. During the fair, Frilli Gallery will host a live session of marble sculpting, bringing a 4 tons white Carrara marble block to its stand. One of Frilli master craftsman, directly from the Frilli Gallery Marble Studio in Pietrasanta, will show how to hand carve a faithful full size replica of the famous "Kiss" by Rodin. At the fair, we will present the Frilli Limited Edition collection of medium and small bronzes, replicas of classical pieces of sculpture. Precious gold leaf details and gilded patinas make each piece unique. We look forward to welcoming you at the next Salone del Mobile International Fair in Milan!

On March 29th, the Guild of the Dome Association in collaboration with the Dr. Bhau Daji Lad Museum, will open the exhibition "The Florentine Renaissance: the city as the crucible of arts" in Mumbai, India. The mission of the Guild is: "sharing universal value through art"-www.guildofthedome.org The full size museum quality replica of the Gates of Paradise, cast by the Frilli Gallery will be the centerpiece of the exhibition. It took Lorenzo Ghiberti from 1425 through 1452 to complete this acclaimed masterpiece of the florentine renaissance. The Renaissance in Florence was the result of humanism, artistic innovation, technical mastery, organizational skills, international contacts and wealth, all contributing to the artistic and economic development of the city and its territory in the first decades of the 15th century, and thus setting new standards. For these reasons, the exhibition will show the Gates of Paradise not as an isolated token of artistic and technical excellence, but within the urban and historical context which allowed its creation and formed the stage for the centuries to come. By doing so, the exhibition will present the replica of the bronze gates as an “ambassador” of Renaissance Florence, surrounding them with a collection of historical and contemporary photographs from the Kunsthistorisches Institut in Florence. The photographic exhibition and other visual material will allow the Indian public to experience the urban environment and the public spaces of Florence which were the stage and the expression of a dynamic world-open society. At the Frilli Gallery we are honoured and proud to contribute to the very first visit of Florentine Renaissance Art to India. Via dei Fossi, 26r - Tel. +39.055.210212 www.frilligallery.com

itinerary | galleria dell'accademia

Galleria dell'Accademia Not just Michelangelo

The museum is situated in Via Ricasoli 60, just past the Academy of Fine Arts. Pietro Leopoldo, one of the most illuminated of the Lorraine Grand Dukes, commissioned this Gallery in 1784 by decreeing that all the schools of drawing in Florence were to be united into a single Academy (keeping to the same name and Statute conceived by Vasari in 1561) and that it was to contain a gallery of paintings by old masters to help the studies of the young artists. It is still here in the buildings that once belonged to the Hospital of San Matteo and to the nearby convent of San NiccolĂ˛. The Grand Duke also decided to include music (the Cherubini Conservatory of today) and restoration (the Opificio delle Pietre Dure) among the arts. This was a real citadel of the arts which occupied, and still occupies, almost the entire block between Piazza San Marco, via Ricasoli, via degli Alfani, piazza Santissima Annunziata e via Battisti. The buildings assumed their present appearance in 1935, when the open loggia onto St. Mark's Square, was discovered (ascribed to either Brunelleschi or Michelozzo, but really a work by an anonymous architect of the end of the XIV century). Both the Academy Gallery and the future classrooms were designed and restructured in 1781 by Gaspare Maria Paoletti. The first room contains the original plaster model by Giambologna for the marble sculptures of the Rape of the Sabines (the original statue is in the Signoria Square under the Loggia dei Lanzi) and paintings mainly from the early 16th century. Among the several works is the famous Adimari Cassone (around 1450), showing an elegant wedding procession, probably carried out by Masaccio's brother, Giovanni di Ser Giovanni known as Lo Scheggia, a Madonna and Child, attributed to Botticelli. In the futher room the powerful Prisoners (originally for the tomb of Julius II) and St. Matthew (1505) by Michelangelo act as a guard of honour to Michelangelo 's David (1501-4), in the beautifully lit Tribune - designed specifically by architect De Fabris- situated at the far end of this spectacular gallery. Substituted by a copy in Piazza della Signoria in 1873, the sculpture

The Tree of Life, by Pacino di Bonaguida

Музей расположен на Вия Риказоли, 60, рядом с Академией изящных искусств. Пьетро Леопольдо, один из самых просвященных из Лотарингских великих князей, в 1784 году издал декрет, что все школы рисования во Флоренции должны были быть объединены в единую Академию (сохраняя в то же имя и Устав который был задуман Вазари в 1561 году ), и что галлерея Академии будет содержать картины старых мастеров, чтобы помочь в исследованиях молодых художников. Галлерея и сегодня находится на месте ее основания, в зданиях, которые когда-то принадлежали больнице Сан-Маттео рядом с монастырем Сан Николо. Великий князь также решил создать училище по изучению музыки ( сегодня консерватория Керубини) и восстановить (Гранильную мастерскую по твердым камням) среди искусств. Это была настоящая цитадель искусства, которая и до сих пор занимает почти целый квартал между площадью Сан-Марко площадью Сантиссима Аннунциата соединенные вия Риказоли или вия Дельи Альфани. Здание в нынешнем виде было восстановлено в 1935 году, с открытием лоджии на площади СанМарко, (приписывается либо Брунеллески или Микелоццо, но на самом деле работы неизвестного архитектора конца XIV столетия). Галерея Академии и будущие ее классы были спроектированы и реконструированы в 1781 году Гаспаре Мария Паолетти. Первая комната содержит оригинальную гипсовую модель Джамболонья для мраморных скульптур Похищение сабинянок (Лоджия деи Ланци) и работы 16-го века школы маньеризма. За ними следуют Пленники (первоначально для гробницы Юлия II), которые выступают в качестве почетного караула, знаменитый Давид Микеланджело (1502-4), в красиво освещенной трибуне - разработанной специально по проекту архитектора де Фабрис, расположенной в дальнем конце этой зрелищной галереи. Подлинник, находится в Галлерее , а знаменитая копия на площади Пьяцца делла Синьория была выставлена в 1873 году. Скульптура представляет собой героического юношу со спортивной фигурой, и являлась символом свободы Флорентийской республики . Справа от знаменитой статуи можно увидеть бронзовый бюст Микеланджело

выполненый его учеником и другом Даниэле да Вольтерра, известным как "Брагеттоне" (человек, носящий широкий бриджи), который позже приказал покрыть обнаженные фигуры “ Страшного суда» Микеланджело драпировкой. Фламандские гобелены с изображением Истории Бытия, работы Ван Орли (1552), выставлены на стене позади Пленников и Матфея Микеланджело (1505). Так называемая Пьета Палестрина, которая, как полагают некоторые критики , не является на самом деле работой Микеланджело, а всего лишь работой его мастерской, находится далеее по правому краю. Далее следует серия работ, которые содержат известные Адимари Кассоне, изображая элегантную процессию свадьбы на площади Пьяцца Дуомо, вероятно, работы брата Мазаччо - Джованни ди сер Джованни (1420), Мадонна с Младенцем, приписываемая Боттичелли, и произведения флорентийских художников и Перуджино. Большая коллекция гипсовых слепков тосканских художников 19 века содержится в левом зале. У выхода можно найти несколько залов содержащих произведения искусства 13 и 14 веков, в том числе много картин учеников Джотто: Мария Магдалина Джотто, Пьета Джованни да Милано (1365), Рассказы святого Франциска и Христа Таддео Гадди .

Close to the Prisoners there is a bronze bust of Michelangelo by his collaborator and friend Daniele da Volterra, known as "Il Braghettone" (the painter of underwear) because he was later ordered to cover Michelangelo's nude figures in the Last Judgment with drapery. The so-called Palestrina PietĂ , which some critics believe is not by Michelangelo but by a follower of the artist, is placed further forward to the right. A large collection of plaster casts by 19th century Tuscan artists some of them active as masters in the colse Accademy of Fine arts is contained in the room on the left of the famous David.

Among the remarcable pieces of the museum is also a PietĂ by Giovanni da Milano (1365), and a fine collection of Byzantine and Florentine painters of the same period that can be found at the upper floor. In the Gallery can be seen also a section dedicated to the Musical Instruments collected by the Medici and Lorraine Grandukes of the Luigi Cherubini Conservatory. Close to the Accademia and the Cherubiny Conservatory is the Museum of Semi-precious Stones and Mosaics, together with the Opificio, which was originally set up by Ferdinando I dei Medici(1588) to create the magnificent decorations for the Chapel of the Princes in San Lorenzo. This institution is quite unique in the world and provides materials and highly specialized labour for original works and restoration in all parts of the globe. The museum contains furniture, paintings, statues, cameos, caskets and various kinds of inlaid work carried out in marble and semiprecious stones from all over the world.

Museo dell'Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore

the Treasures of the Cathedral

The Museum is part of an institution, the Opera del Duomo, set up in the late 13th century to superintend the construction of the new cathedral of Florence. The Opera moved to the present location in the 15th century. The new premises were housed in a palace built on an earlier cottage that stood next door to the kilns of the Lorenzo Ghiberti's workshop (where the artist smelted his bronze Doors for the Baptistery). Moreover it was also here that Michelangelo sculpted his famous David from a block of marble that had already been started by two less talented artists working for the Opera del Duomo. Once the basilica had been completed (1436), the Opera remained in function in order to take care of the religious complex composed of the Cathedral, the Baptistery and the Bell Tower. Untill today in the Operaís Bottega or workshop, closely linked to the museum, marble workers and stonemasons carry out the restoration and maintenance on all the art works and monuments. The Museum houses many works of art that, for reasons of conservation, have been removed from the Cathedral, the Baptistery and the Bell Tower, and therefore testifies to centuries of Florentine sculpture. Designed by architect Luigi del Moro, this important Church Museum opened to the public in 1891. Completely renovated after the 1966 flood, re-arranged in 1999 is partly closed for renovation at the moment. Is anyway possible to see the splendid Gate of Paradise created by Lorenzo Ghiberti for the Baptistery of St. John recently restored and the mooving Pietà started by the almost eighty years old Michelangelo with the intention to put it on his own tomb. Among the other pieces of the museum are the statues of the old facade (designed and started from the end of the thirteen century by Arnolfo di Cambio and demolished in 1587) including a huge statue of Bonifax VIII. The museum hosts as weel two Cantorias by Luca Della Robbia and Donatello, the Mary Magdalen in wood by Donatello, statues and panels originally located on the Bell Tower, paintings on gold, ancient codices, Brunelleschiís models for the cupola, the gilded Altar of San Giovanni (by Michelozzo, Verrocchio, Pollaiolo and Cennini, topped by the Cross by Pollaiolo), then also the Cathedral treasury, liturgical furnishings and hangings, as well as a vast collection of religious art (reliquaries, crosses, chasubles and pastoral staffs).

Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana You can find the entrance to the Laurentian Library to the left facing the facade of the beautiful Basilica of San Lorenzo inside the cloisters projected by Brunelleschi. The collection was started by Cosimo 'the Elder' and enlarged by his son Piero and Lorenzo the Magnificent. It is an extraordinarily rich library containing handwritten documents and illuminated manuscripts, purchased in the markets of the Orient by the merchants and agents in the Guild of Physicians from the time of Giovanni di Bicci, and further increased after the Council of Florence in 1439, when the Greek scholars who were part of the following of the Patriarch of Constantinople and the Emperor, stayed in the city and were welcomed with all honours. This cultural environment, which was generously hosted by Cosimo 'the Elder', was to nurture the ideals of Humanism, then in its earliest stages. The most important codes preserved here include the so-called "Codex Mediceus of Virgil" (4th-5th century), the Justinian "Pandects" (a digest of 6th century law that forms the basis of modern law), as well as the famous Amiatinus Bible, in other words, the oldest complete edition of the Bible with the text of the Vulgate of St. Jerome, and rare examples of Italian-Saxon illumination. The Laurentian Library building was started in the summer of 1524 by Michelangelo, who, in three years, created its beautiful entrance hall with an artificial play of windows, pilasters and friezes, the incredible staircase (added later by Ammannati following his ideas), which looks more like a piece of sculpture, thanks to the imaginative curving lines used for the treads and spirals, and then the huge elegant reading room. Lastly he also wanted to leave his mark on the design of the ceilings, the reading desks and the seats, created in various types of precious wood. From the architectural point of view, the building is a fine example of the Mannerist style. Work on the building was interrupted after MichelangeloĂs departure from Florence in 1534 and then completed following his designs and advices by Ammannati and Vasari until 1568.

Библиотека Медичи Лауренциана Вход в Библиотеку Лауренциана находится внутри патио Брунеллески справа от фасада Базилики Сан Лоренцо. Эта удивительно богатая библиотека содержит коллекцию рукописных документов и ценнейших манускриптов, приобретенных во время торговли на Востоке купцами и агентами Гильдии Медичи во времена Джованни ди Биччи, заметно пополнившуюся после Унии, подписанной во Флоренции в 1439-ом году, когда греческие ученые, прибывшие в свите Патриарха Константинопольского и императора в город, были приняты со всеми подобающими почестями. Эта культурная среда, которая щедро поощрялась Козимо Старшим, была пропитана идеалами Гуманизма, на его самых ранних стадиях. Постройка Библиотеки Лауренциана была начата Микеланджело летом 1524-го года, который за три года успел создать красивый вестибюль с его искусственной игрой окон, пилястров и фризов, широкой лестницей, которая кажется больше скульптурной композицией, благодаря фантазийным изгибам линий ступеней и спиралям, а также большой и элегантный читальный зал. И, в конце концов, он также пожелал отметить своим гением потолки, столы для чтения и сидения, выполненные из различного рода инкрустированного ценного дерева. С архитектурной точки зрения, здание является прекрасным примером маньеризма, однако великолепие стиля маэстро уже несет в себе элементы эпохи барокко. Постройка здания два раза прерывалась и возобновлялась, чтобы быть завершенной Амманнати и Вазари в 1559-ом году. Paul Lydka Chef Concierge Four Seasons Hotel +39.055.26261 introduces

Baccio Bandinelli Sculptor & Master (1493-1560)

Museo Nazionale del Bargello Via del Proconsolo, 4 Tel. +39.055.2388742 www.unannoadarte.it

Vasari offers his final judgement of Baccio Bandinelli in his Lives, defining him as “an artist of eternal fame”; this is what the exhibition almost defiantly hopes to confirm as it wishes to redeem Bandinelli’s important position in the panorama of Italian Mannerist sculpture and re-establish the truth about an artist who, for the past two centuries to today, has been ostracised by critics. The exhibition will present all his sculptures and paintings, or at least those that it has been possible to transfer, his drawings and prints, bronzes and medals, as well as a rare wax model from Montpellier. Various works in relief that have been definitely attributed to him and loaned by various foreign museums, are also on display (in marble, plaster and bronze), together with others copied directly from the originals using the preparatory graphic sketches. from april 9th. Baccio Bandinelli, “artista di fama eterna”: è questo il giudizio conclusivo della Vita dedicatagli da Vasari, che la mostra intende quasi provocatoriamente confermare per restituire infine al Bandinelli la sua posizione di merito nel panorama della scultura italiana della Maniera e per ristabilire la verità su un artista condannato all’ostracismo dalla critica negli ultimi due secoli, fino ad oggi. La mostra presenterà tutte le sue opere di scultura e di pittura il cui trasferimento sia possibile, i disegni e le stampe di sua invenzione, bronzetti, medaglie e un raro modello in cera proveniente da Montpellier. Saranno esposti inoltre i rilievi (in marmo, stucco e bronzo, provenienti da vari musei esteri) che gli sono riferiti con certezza, o che direttamente derivano da suoi originali, a confronto con studi grafici preparatori.

Family Matters Portraits of family today

Family Matters. Living and Portraying the Family Today displays works by eleven international artists (Guy Ben-Ner, Sophie Calle, Jim Campbell, John Clang, Nan Goldin, Courtney Kessel, Ottonella Mocellin and Nicola Pellegrini, Trish Morrissey, Hans Op de Beeck, Chrischa Oswald and Thomas Struth) that allow us to investigate the images, dynamics and structures that define the family concept in the world of today. The idea behind the exhibition itself follows two main directions with, on the one hand, an analysis of the dynamics that characterise a family and, on the other, a survey of the family image and what lies hidden behind it. The videos, photographs and installations in the show analyse and deconstruct this concept, combining the suggestive autobiographical subjects of each artist with a collective research for their meanings and reflecting on the cultural, moral, ethical and biological ties that define and identify a family. From March 14th Questioni di famiglia. Vivere e rappresentare la famiglia oggi propone opere di undici artisti internazionali (Guy Ben-Ner, Sophie Calle, Jim Campbell, John Clang, Nan Goldin, Courtney Kessel, Ottonella Mocellin e Nicola Pellegrini, Trish Morrissey, Hans Op de Beeck, Chrischa Oswald, Thomas Struth) che permettono di investigare immagini, dinamiche e strutture che definiscono il concetto di famiglia nel mondo contemporaneo. La riflessione della mostra è dedicata a due fronti principali, da una parte l’analisi di quelle dinamiche che caratterizzano una famiglia, dall’altra una ricognizione sull’immagine della famiglia e su ciò che si nasconde dietro di essa.I video, le fotografie e le installazioni in mostra affrontano e decostruiscono questo concetto, unendo la soggettività autobiografica di ciascun artista a una ricerca di significato collettivo e riflettendo su quei legami culturali, morali, etici, biologici che definiscono e individuano una famiglia. dAL 14 marzo

Rooms of the Muses

Paintings from the collection Molinari Pradelli Since the fifties the orchestra conductor FRANCESCO MOLINARI PRADELLI has cultivated a growing passion for art collecting paintings, driven by an original attraction to baroque painting and the genre of still life whose studies, then, were at the beginning. As the exhibition documents through a selection of one hundred paintings, the master gave priority strictly to seventeenth and eighteenth century paintings documenting the various Italian schools with a specific attention to sketches. To give the collection a very early international reputation, however, were the many still life by artists such as Jacopo da Empoli, Luca Forte, Giuseppe Recco, Cristoforo Munari, Arcangelo Resani, Carlo Magini, a sign of an out of the ordinary insight that made of Molinari Pradelli a true connoisseur of Italian baroque painting and the forerunner of the modern still life studies. until may 11th. A partire dagli anni Cinquanta il maestro d'orchestra FRANCESCO MOLINARI PRADELLI ha coltivato una crescente passione per la pittura rivolgendosi principalmente al barocco spinto da un’attrazione del tutto originale verso il genere della natura morta i cui studi erano allora alle origini. Come la mostra documenta attraverso la selezione di cento dipinti, il maestro privilegiò rigorosamente la pittura del Seicento e del Settecento documentando le diverse scuole italiane, senza eccezione, con specifica attenzione ai bozzetti e ai modelletti. A conferire alla collezione, molto precocemente, una notorietà internazionale furono tuttavia i numerosi dipinti di natura morta di artisti come Jacopo da Empoli, Luca Forte, Giuseppe Recco, Cristoforo Munari, Arcangelo Resani, Carlo Magini, segno di un intuito fuori dal comune che fece del noto direttore d’orchestra un autentico conoscitore della pittura barocca italiana, antesignano dei moderni studi sulla natura morta. fino al 11 maggio

The seduction of the Etruscans For the very first time the public can admire some truly “symbolic masterpieces” by this ancient people – among them the bronze of the Arringatore or Orator, from the Archaeological Museum in Florence, and the “Putto Graziani” – alongside some of the original drawings from the Royal Hetruria and a series of wonderful Etruscan testimonials that have come to form part of the collections of the British Museum during its three centuries of collecting, clashes and acquisitions: this great London museum has in fact loaned over forty artefacts. The exhibition first explores the atmosphere of the eighteenth century Grand Tours and then goes on to trace the figure of Coke, a lover of antiquity, and his sojourns in Italy, through original documents, reproductions, drawings and prints; after this it continues to follow the route, arranged at Palazzo Casali by architect Andrea Mandara, displaying various books and images that recall the figure of Filippo Buonarroti, another key personality in this story, and Etruscan works from the Buonarroti House.

Lungarno Bistrot

Бистро на Лунгарно В изумительном обрамлении набережной реки Арно, так называемого Лунгарно Гуиччардини, открылся новый ресторан «LUNGARNO BISTROT», с роскошной внешней верандой, сидя на которой можно любоваться великолепным видом набережной и фасадом дворца князей Корсини. У входа располагается барная стойка для заказа аперитивов или дижестивов, но настоящим центром притяжения заведения является его огромная открытая кухня, которая позволяет наблюдать за процессом приготовления фирменных блюд и домашней лапши. Использование продуктов местного или строго итальянского происхождения высшего качества отличает блюда, приготовленные руками наших шеф-поваров. В меню можно найти типичные блюда тосканской кухни, а также блюда, созданные фантазией наших мастеров (такие, как мусс из мяса трески, картофельная запеканка с лососем). Десерты тоже все выполнены в домашних условиях. На сладкое можно заказать: тирамису, mille-feuille со взбитыми сливками, яблочный пирог «Татен», шоколадное суфле и широкий ассортимент печень

The “LUNGARNO BISTROT” restaurant has just opened in a splendid setting on the Lungarno Guicciardini, right opposite historic Palazzo Corsini, and, with its large outside veranda giving onto a beautiful view of the Arno, ideal for a dinner in the warm evenings of the florentine spring, The lounge bar can be found in the entrance hall and is perfect for aperitifs and after dinner drinks, though the highlight of the restaurant is its large open-plan kitchen, where you can watch the chefs prepare all the dishes and home made pasta (it is one of the few restaurants in the city centre where the pasta is home produced as well as bread and desserts by the chefs). The first course includes handmade fresh pasta both stuffed like tortelli or ravioli or plain such as pici, tagliolini and tagliatelle, as well as special dishes every day with products of the season! Fresh products make up the principal raw materials for our cuisine. All the various dishes are characterised by carefully selected products, all of top quality, while our chefs’ love of simple and genuine cooking can be seen with the many plants of fresh herbs growing on the small balcony off the kitchen. The menu includes typical dishes of Tuscan tradition (Florentine T-bone steak, just to give an example), as well as other platters revisited by our chefs. The dessert course is also most important as it provides the perfect ending to any special meal. All the desserts are made right here in the kitchen and include tiramisu (made on order), mille-feuille with chantilly whipped cream, upside down apple tart, chocolate soufflé and a wide variety of fancy biscuits.

Cucina Torcicoda

Ресторан «Cucina Torcicoda» Большое патио овальной формы на Виа Торта ограничивает площадь, ранее занимаемую древнеримским амфитеатром, в период между 124 и 130-ым годом до нашей эры, а огибающая ее изогнутая дорога была прозвана Виа Торчикода (улица Изогнутого Хвоста). Ресторан «Cucina Torcicoda» родился здесь: огромная обновленная площадь, расположенная на более, чем тысяче квадратных метров с тремя различными залами, у каждого из которых свое оформление, своя атмосфера и меню, которые всегда отличаются высоким качеством, традициями и изысканностью. Ресторан основывается и специализируется на блюдах средиземноморской и тосканской кухни. Деревянные столы и неформальная атмосфера являются наиболее характерными чертами таверны. Последняя по счету, но не по качеству — пиццерия, в которой можно попробовать пиццы, приготовленные в настоящей печи на дровах.

108

The elliptical path of Via Torta, which runs through the heart of the city between Via Verdi, via dell'Anguillara, Borgo de ' Greci and Piazza Peruzzi and ends at the beginning of Via de ' Benci , delineates the area where once stood the Roman Amphitheatre between 124 and 130 a.d., a curved road once dubbed as Via Torcicoda. Cucina Torcicoda is born here, a new restaurant in Florence, a huge innovative concept space designed by architect Luigi Fragola - which stretches for more than a thousand square feet - with three different environments, each with its own vocation, menu and atmosphere, always characterized by high quality, authenticity and research. The restaurant is intimate, Chef Alessandro Fabbri is specialized in Mediterranean cuisine with a closeup on Tuscan flavors and a special attention to meat recipes thanks to the wonderful grill on view. Wooden tables, candles, bottles on the walls and a convivial atmosphere is what most characterizes the Osteria, always marked by attentive service and original gastronomic proposals. Last but not least comes the pizzeria making pizzas with exceptional raw materials in wood-burning oven, perfectly balanced between tradition and innovation. If you step down from the Osteria you will find a small privée where you can enjoy an aperitif before dinner or a drink at the end of the evening: Enjoy the wine list and the numerous cocktails.

A corner of the old Florence between Ponte Vecchio and Palazzo Pitti, just off the main tourist tracks, filled with craft shops and beloved by artists and intellectuals. This is Piazza della Passera, a street cross where in recent years many shops and restaurants have arisen: here is where you will find the Trattoria 4 Leoni, a Restaurant that offers the kind of hospitality that you would expect to find in the homes of old friends. Though not just a Tuscan trattoria, 4 Leoni is simple but elegant and tastefully furnished. The owner Stefano Di Puccio is held in high regard in the city for its sporting history as kicker in the Calcio Storico Fiorentino, but above all for his hospitality and the quality of his cuisine. Dishes are in the true Tuscan tradition, from the classic Huge FryUp (fried chicken, rabbit and vegetables) to the always excellent steak, the famous Peposo all'Imprunetina (peppery stew). But the choice of dishes, in addition to vary according to the season is enriched with new features according to the imagination of the chef, who looks at the "new Italian cuisine". So 4 Leoni is pasta dishes and second courses, grilled meat and fish, homemade desserts and wines of excellent quality that can also be ordered by the glass. In the summer months you can eat outside in the square. The quality of the food, the care for detail and service, together with the simple and genuine atmosphere, make of Trattoria 4 Leoni a symbol for all the Florentines and still frequented by an international clientele.

The menu follows the rhythm of the seasons, while the dishes are prepared using selected fresh produce of top quality and include fresh home made pasta, pappardelle with hare ragout, grilled meats, fried platters, Florentine steaks, specialities based on game, desserts, which are always home made, and many other delicacies. The Cantina houses over 300 selected wines: classic Italian and international wines and all the fines Tuscan labels. The service is attentive, friendly and never intrusive. Time seems to have stood still at Omero’s as, although the restaurant has stood here for decades, it still manages to keep its reputation and perhaps this is why its customers get attached to it and come back again and again, because they know they will always find original flavours and simplicity.

Coquinarius

Кокинариус Винный бар и ресторан «Coquinarius» был основан в 1999-ом году на Виа делле Оке, сразу за площадью, на которой находится Домский собор. Винный бар вскоре превратился в излюбленное место встречи в основном местных жителей и одиноких путешественников, которые желали провести час-другой в его стенах, в неформальной и располагающей обстановке. Меню начинается с закусок и списка вин на разлив, вдохновленное итальянской и французской кулинарной традицией. Блюда разделены на различные категории по вкусу: выбор карпаччо, мясо на гриле и т. д. Завершают меню десерты, среди которых один на все случаи жизни: чизкейк из свежего сыра и трех различных сортов шоколада: белый, молочный и черный. Винная карта предлагает выбор вин, поставленных напрямую от небольших итальянских производителей. Органические и биодинамические вина с севера и юга Италии.

Florian

Флориан Старинное Кафе Флориан, основанное в 1720-ом году на площади Сан-Марко в Венеции, сейчас нашло свой уголок во Флоренции, где открыло новый филиал с эксклюзивным кафетерием и новаторским рестораном, посвященными современному искусству. Элитная атмосфера и безупречный сервис выгодно отличают классический кафетерий и ресторан с традиционными блюдами венецианской и итальянской кухни. Шеф-повар черпает свое вдохновение в классических постных блюдах, известных десертах и венецианском мягком мороженом. Каждый вечер с 18-ти часов сервируется венецианский аперитив с традиционным коктейлем Сприц, Беллини или Негрони, в сопровождении вяленой трески, приготовленной в собственном соку либо в томатном соусе, мясного и сырного ассорти по-венециански, подаваемого с конфитюрами домашнего приготовления, а также прочими закусками, которые можно брать прямо руками

Historic Caffè Florian, founded in 1720 in Piazza S. Marco in Venice, has now found its natural outlet in Florence with the opening of this new and exclusive location, where a prestigious café and innovative catering blend together with Contemporary Art. The Florian Art Collection has organised a permanent display of works by Mimmo Rotella, Fabrizio Plessi, Gaetano Pesce and Bruno Ceccobelli, to mention just a few of the many artists who have created exclusive works for the Florian in Venice over the years. These art works are now here in Florence to pay tribute to the tradition in style, elegance and refinement that has made Florian a myth-like place throughout the world. Here clients can find a truly exclusive environment and an impeccable service in the classical Café and in the Restaurant, specialised in Venetian and Italian cuisine. Inspired by the classical light dishes and traditional desserts and parfaits, the Chef offers some really superlative platters created with top quality raw materials. The recipes are in fact all based on the finest Italian products and include really fresh fish, meat, first courses and starters, as well as the typical Venetian savoury croutons. The idea is to maintain all the flavour and natural taste of the best ingredients of the season and thus create excellent but traditional dishes that are however continuously renewed, with the addition of special touches that are both original and cosmopolitan. It is possible to enjoy an aperitif (spritz, delicious cocktails, special wines), a really good coffee, chocolate, the traditional and elegant afternoon tea, snacks, Venetian savoury croutons and exquisite pastries, all signed by Florian at any time of the day. Do not miss the special Venetian aperitif, every evening after 6pm, where you can enjoy faithful reproductions of the original Florian recipes for Spritz, Bellini and Negroni, accompanied by traditional salted cod, cod stew, a selection of Venetian dressed meats and cheeses served with home made jams prepared by the Chef and various types of fingerfood.
