SOCIAL EVENTS
December 16, 2025: Guided tour for participants and accompanying persons of the Fondazione Santa Maria Nuova Museum.
After the visit, dinner will be offered to participants in a historic venue near the Museum.
The main entrance to the Museum is located in Piazza Santa Maria Nuova 1, Firenze, Italy, just a few minutes walk from the Workshop venue.
During the tour, we will retrace the history of the hospital founded by Folco Portinari in 1288, exploring the centuries and renovations that have left it as we see it today, after seven centuries of uninterrupted hospital activity! It also played an important role from an artistic perspective: it was the training ground for many artists, including Lorenzo Ghiberti and Leonardo da Vinci. The tour also includes the Chiostro delle Medicherie, which houses plants used by our ancestors as medicines: some still effective today, others terribly poisonous. Finally, it will be possible to visit the Matroneo delle Oblate, a special space in the Church of Sant'Egidio.
