FLORENCE, ITALY – The 20th Century museum, which was inaugurated on Monday June 23, 2014, is housed in the former Leopoldine convent and hospital at the Piazza Santa Maria Novella, an 800 square meter space.
The collection includes 300 paintings, sculptures, videos and installations by world-recognized Italian artists such as Giorgio de Chirico, Fortunato Depero, Alberto Moretti, Giorgio Morandi, Lucio Fontana and Carlo Carrà.
Florence is “no longer a city of the past”, mayor of Florence Dario Nardella, told audiences at press conference on Monday for the inauguration of 20th Century Museum, the city’s newest modern art museum.
The 20th century museum, along with a national photography museum and restoration to Florence’s basilica, represents the culmination of a decade-long commitment with Florentine financial bank Ente Cassa di Risparmio di Firenze for the redevelopment of the piazza area, an over six million euros project.
