Curated by Lucia Mannini, the exhibition chronicles a decade of extraordinary creative energy, during which Florence established itself as a sophisticated hub for applied arts, fashion, design, theater, and the decorative arts. Significant space is dedicated to ceramics from the Florentine manufactories of Chini and Cantagalli, as well as the successful collaboration between Gio Ponti and Richard-Ginori—represented in the exhibition by 28 important loans from the Museo Ginori.
