An event to explore the fruitful and fascinating relationship between classicism and contemporaneity in artistic and museum contexts.
Starting from the experience of the reopening of Palazzo Ardinghelli, Eike Schmidt, Director of the Uffizi Galleries in Florence – who was included by Blouin Artinfo in the list of the ten best museum directors in the world for the excellent results achieved in the management of the Uffizi Galleries in Florence – meets the public for a special conversation with Bartolomeo Pietromarchi, Director of MAXXI L’Aquila. Their conversation will focus on the fruitful and fascinating relationship between classicism and contemporaneity in artistic and museum contexts.
This relationship aims at establishing a continuous and enriching dialogue between the various forms of creativity in different expressions across time, and contributes to maintaining the connection between the past and the present by establishing a continuous network of relations and interactions between institutions and their visitors.
