Florence, or Firenze (as the Italians call it), has long been not the capital city that it was in the Middle Ages. All the more in her charm, antiquity and authenticity. Having been in her life the inspiration of many famous artists, she is now the heart of cultural Italy, the art gallery that feeds the whole country and thousands of thousands of tourists who come here to join the art. The organizers of the exhibition Interiors specially prepared the time for its holding at the end of February: the trees stand in a gray haze, the air is humid and fresh, the sun is warm, but the streets are still cool and visiting museums and galleries is joyful and easy.

The mention of museums and galleries is not accidental here, for Interiors is an extraordinary exhibition in all respects, and visiting it equals a visit to the Louvre, for example. She passes in the palace. In the beautiful palace of Corsini, leaving its facade on the embankment of the river Arno. Built in 1649, the Corsini Palace was decorated at the end of the 17th century and is an exquisite sample of the late Baroque. Here, in the four well-preserved halls of the palace, the Interiors exhibition was held. Furniture, lamps and furnishings, created by the thirteen best artisan workshops in Tuscany (I don’t even want to call them factories, production is all manual), located against the background of the palace baroque as if they had always been part of these halls.

Every thing was perceived as a work of art, and that was the right feeling. All items shown at Interiors are unique and are practically modern antiques, that is, their value will not fall fifteen years after purchase, but, on the contrary, will increase. Now they are made by those who studied craft in the "pre-technology" post-war time. Sofas and chairs from Softhouse, beds from DANIELA LUCATO, pieces of furniture from GRIFONI VITTORIO and GRIFONI SILVANO, lamps, vases and mirrors from A.C.F. and PETRIS 5, bronze chandeliers from CIANI-EMPORIO SAN FIRENZE and Antonio CiulLi and son, silver and porcelain from Daliana Andrea & C... There are actually not so many real masters creating masterpieces of the museum level.
