Voci Fiorentine (Florentine Voices ) is a series of eleven meetings, scheduled from June 5 to September 25, 2018, at the Accademia Gallery in Florence. Each of these appointments will feature important “Florentine” personalities telling their vision of a work and its author to the audience gathered around the masterpiece in question.

The speakers on the program are art historians Tomaso Montanari, Antonio Natali, Antonio Paolucci, Carlo Sisi, the Abbot of San Miniato al Monte Bernardo Gianni, Carabinieri commander Lanfranco Disibio, Cristina Acidini president of the Accademia delle Arti del Disegno, Paolo Ermini director of Corriere Fiorentino, Claudio Rocca director of the Accademia di Belle Arti di Firenze, Timothy Verdon director of the Museo dell’Opera del Duomo and Luigi Zampini director of the Conservatorio “Luigi Cherubini.” Among the works discussed were Michelangelo’s St. Matthew, Scheggia’s Cassone Adimari, Winds and Flutes from the Luigi Cherubini Conservatory collection, and Giambologna’s model of the Rape of the Sabine Women.

Director Cecilie Hollberg explains, “The ’Florentine Voices’ initiative is designed to bring the Museum closer to the citizens, who, thanks to the generous contribution of nationally renowned art experts, can better appreciate and understand some of the masterpieces housed in the collections of the Accademia Gallery in Florence.”
The meetings are set from 7:30 to 8 p.m.
