“Ytalia” is an ambitious project with the aim to start a dialogue between Florence’s incredible
historical and artistical heritage and the art of the Twentieth Century: daily and metaphysical
reality, natural elements and new mythologies are the recurring themes of the selected works of art.
An “invasion” in the heart of Renaissance that aims to bring the attention of the international public
on the Italian contemporary art.
The exhibition is directed by Sergio Risaliti and curated by Sergio Risaliti and Marco Bazzini.
