MUSEO DI SAN MARCO, FIRENZE

€25,00

With Other gazes, a book series promoted by the Directorate-General of Museums of the Ministry of Culture, we embark on a photographic journey through Italy’s museum landscapes: archaeological areas, house museums, monuments and museums in the most traditional sense are offered to the lens of great photographers. A series – curated by art historian Maura Picciau – to explore Italy’s lesser-known museums and places through the eyes of great photographers and the words of writers and critics, and rediscover the Italian artistic heritage with other gazes.

DETAILS

Luca Capuano introduces us to one of Italy’s most unique and peculiar museums: the Museum of San Marcoin Florence. Ante figuram is the result of a long and thoughtful investigation of the museum’s spaces, its history and the other places that preserve the story of history, such as photographic archives. With her precise words, Melania G. Mazzucco takes us on a tour of the colours of Fra Angelico and the silences of the monastic cells he painted, and Alessandro Carrer dialogues with Capuano’s photographic work in a dynamic exegesis.
