Surprise: Uffizi Diffusi will land at Vittoriale with a project on D'Annunzio

The Uffizi Diffusi is ready to move out of Tuscany and land on the shores of Lake Garda, in the home of Gabriele d’Annunzio, the Vittoriale degli Italiani. The grand program to bring and exhibit works from the deposits of the famous Florentine museum in the territory, launched by director Eike Schmidt two years ago, could soon make a stop in the Vate’s home as well, with a project dedicated to D’Annunzio’s time: launching this idea, immediately welcomed by Schmidt himself, was last night the president of the Vittoriale himself, Giordano Bruno Guerri, during an event at the State Archives in Pisa, which he attended together with the director of the Uffizi. There is still secrecy about the details of the operation, but there seems to be an understanding between the two institutions and new details will not be long in coming.

“Considering the fundamental role of Gabriele d’Annunzio for the knowledge and protection of cultural heritage in Tuscany, and also of the Uffizi,” said Eike Schmidt, “we will be very pleased to make these connections evident to everyone in an exhibition at the Vittoriale; the hope is that we will be able to realize it as soon as possible.”

“I am happy that Director Eike Schmidt, with whom I was immediately in full agreement,” said Giordano Bruno Guerri, “has enthusiastically embraced the idea of bringing precious works from the Uffizi to the Vittoriale degli Italiani, in memory of Gabriele d’Annunzio’s love and his love for Florence, the Uffizi and cultural heritage. This agreement makes it clear how useful collaboration between museum institutions is.”

The meeting, led by the director of the Pisa State Archives Jaleh Barahbadi, was attended by, among others, Pisa Mayor Michele Conti, City Councilor for Tourism Paolo Pesciatini and the Vate’s nephew himself, entrepreneur Federico d’Annunzio. All welcomed Guerri’s proposal with warm applause.
