La Bella Italia: Art and Identity of the Capital Cities
From October 11, 2011 to March 4, 2012
Palazzo Pitti, Florence
In 1861, Italy became a nation, unifing several independent states that had their own influence, history and traditions. The exhibit, in celebration of 150 years of the Italian state, brings together all these sides of Italy, showing works of art that represent each area before unification. The differences can still be seen in present-day Italy in each area of the country but in 1861 they also led to the "miracle" of unification.
