The ghetto of Florence was established in 1570 by Cosimo I and Carlo Pitti, and was demolished between 1892 and 1895. For almost three centuries the ghetto was the gravity point of Hebraism in Florence. Subdivided into five sections,the exhibition draws from the extraordinary cultural heritage of Florence as well as from important international loans. It reveals a significant and forgotten chapter of the Medici's political strategy in a centuries-old context of conflicts, diplomacy and cultural exchanges.
This is the first monographic exhibition in Europe dedicated to Pier Francesco Foschi (1502-1567), a Florentine painter, who trained in the studio of Andrea del Sarto, assisted Italian painter Pontormo, and whose long and successful career took place during the central decades of the sixteenth century.
This large-scale exhibition evidences Duchamp’s mastery in the art of reproduction and self-quotation. But it is also particularly special because it is the first that institution has done for an artist who was a dear friend and unofficial advisor of Peggy Guggenheim. After the two met in 1923, he introduced her to the many artists in his circle in Paris and offered advice when she established her first London gallery Guggenheim Jeune. The show includes some of Duchamp’s most famous Cubist-inspired paintings and found objects from museums across Europe and America are being reunited with lesser-known pieces from private collections, including, most notably, thirty works owned by the Venetian art collector Attilio Codognato.
One of the Medici family’s favourite painters, Giovanni Mannozzi (1592 – 1636), better known as Giovanni da San Giovanni, stands out from the sombre virtuosity of his own century’s movement, Mannerism, thanks to the airy lightness of his brushwork and his soft, fresh palette. His neo-Hellenistic taste and irreverent sense of humour, together with his skill in working “fast and well”, can be appreciated in the tondos on display in the exhibition in a vibrant flow of delicate, luminous forms that will turn the visitor’s enjoyment of his paintings into a positively ethereal experience.
This exhibition was born from the scientific collaboration between the National Gallery itself and the Department of Architecture and Project (DiAP) of the Sapienza University of Rome. The exhibition, jointly curated by Alessandra Capuano with Alfonso Giancotti, Anna Giovannelli and Daniele Frediani of DiAP, and by Giovanna Coltelli and Valeria Lupo, with the Exhibitions Office of the National Gallery, is inspired by the GRAB, Grande Raccordo Anulare delle Biciclette: a vast cycle/pedestrian ring of almost 50 km that crosses the capital.
This exhibition presents, in addition to his most famous masterpieces, also numerous unpublished works never exhibited before. An anthology of around 300 works which includes the now iconic Hand with Reflecting Sphere (1935), Bond of Union (1956), Metamorphosis II (1939), Day and Night (1938), the famous Emblemata series , and many other.
This exhibition focuses on a series of self-portraits on paper by 16th- and 17th-century Masters, which, for conservative reasons, are rarely exhibited to the public. It is a unique opportunity to "meet the gaze" of great artists such as Fra Bartolomeo, Pontormo, Cristofano Allori, Federico Zuccari up to Luca Giordano, Hans Holbein the Younger, Rembrandt and many others.
The exhibition 'FIDIA' takes visitors on an unexpected and surprising journey into the life, career and cultural-historical climate in which the great sculptor worked, through a vast and valuable selection of more than 100 works - including archaeological finds, Greek originals and Roman replicas, paintings, manuscripts, drawings, some exhibited for the first time.
This exhibit brings the Medici family portraits to the noble halls of Scarperia's Palazzo dei Vicari to evoke the lengthy and widespread presence of the Medici in the country and towns of the Mugello, the family's legendary homeland

Using painting, sculpture, installation and photography, Anselm Kiefer's art offers a path of introspection on the human being, exploring the connections between past, present and future. Since his debut in the late 1960s, Anselm Kiefer has carried out profound and layered research on the themes of memory, myth, history, literature and philosophy. In his artistic career myth, religion, mysticism, poetry and philosophy come together. Each of his artistic productions expresses the refusal of limits , not only in monumentality or materiality but above all in the infinite wealth of resources with which he probes the depths of memory and the past.
This large retrospective dedicated to the Italian artist Pino Pascali (1935-1968). The project delves into the innovative character of his work, especially in relation to his sculptural production, which over the last fifty years has had a fundamental impact on several generations of artists and critics and continues to attract the attention of the international public.
“Miranda July: New Society” is the first exhibition dedicated to the work of Miranda July which traces the thirty-year career of the American artist, director and writer through her short films, performances and installations. The project includes the new work FAMILY (Falling Apart Meanwhile I Love You), a multi-channel video installation documenting the year-long collaboration between July and seven performers on Instagram. FAMILY is the starting point for investigating the themes present in July's other performative and collaborative projects in the exhibition.
