The first part of the celebrations dedicated, with a cycle of concerts and lectures, to the 140th anniversary of the arrival of Michelangelo’s David at the Galleria, ended in June. If you missed some of the events, on our website you find the recordings of the interventions, starting with the lecture of the art historian Cristina Acidini on the complex transfer of the sculpture from Piazza della Signoria to its triumphal arrival at the Galleria. If you are curious to discover an artist little known for his production, but famous for punching the young Buonarroti, Professor Felipe Pereda’s lecture on Pietro Torrigiano is for you. Finally, the intervention of Aldo Cazzullo, journalist and writer, who, inspired by the David, told his vision of Florence, the moral homeland of the Italians centuries before the unification of Italy.
