Luci sul '900

One hundred years since its founding, the Galleria d’arte moderna di Palazzo Pitti exhibits and recounts its twentieth-century collections: “a century of innovative fervour, of rifts in culture (and not only), of tragedies and reconstructions, a century that guided contemporaneity in the arts, our XXI century, profoundly modelled by those inherited experiences” (Cristina Acidini).

To celebrate the centennial of its foundation, the Galleria d’arte moderna di Palazzo Pitti has decided to dedicate an exhibition to the museum’s twentieth-century collections.

The Galleria d’arte moderna is principally known as the museum with the vastest and most important collection of paintings by masters of the Macchiaioli movement in the world, both historically and in terms of quality, few people are acquainted with the collection of twentieth-century works till today held in storage.
