Conversations on the exhibition "Arti in dialogo": an afternoon of study

Friday, February 10, the Aula Magna of the SAGAS Department - History, Archaeology, Geography, Art and Performance of the University of Florence will host an afternoon of study dedicated to students and researchers. The meeting aims to capture and share some of the many insights offered by the exhibition "Arti in dialogo. Echi tardo barocchi nelle sculture del Museo Ginori" and to propose new analytical tools to refine the ability to critically approach the work of art.

The session will be moderated by Prof. Cristiano Giometti (University of Florence). The conclusions will be entrusted to Prof. Tomaso Montanari (Fondazione Ginori).
