Florence
The first month of the year, for the city of Florence, holds high the banner of international Fashion, thanks to the iconic "Pitti Immagine" kermesse, with three not-to-be-missed events in the rich location of the Fortezza da Basso: Pitti Immagine Uomo, Jan. 10-13; Pitti Immagine Bimbo, Jan. 18-20; and Pitti Immagine Filati, Jan. 25-27.
If you've never taken part in this men's fashion event, an event that treads the line between show and performance art and that over time has become a true feather in the city's cap, the January 2023 edition may be the most appropriate choice.
Pitti Immagine: between tradition and stylistic innovation
To be in Florence during the days of the "Pitti Immagine" fashion fair means taking part in an authentic open-air catwalk: the streets filled with glamour and color, cocktails, presentations and sumptuous dinners, the city at night teeming with exclusive parties with celebrities and designers from all over the world. Breathing in the new trends by taking a tour of the collections and exhibitors in the Fortress means:
- Savoring the passion and craftsmanship of the textile manufacturing sector
- Discovering the most innovative trends in fashion biz
- Being surrounded by beauty and being able to contemplate it, to "touch" it.
Not just Fashion in Florence: Art that will steal your eyes
The gaze of those who visit the city of Florence in January will literally be enraptured by the many artistic offering: above all, the exhibition "Eliott Erwitt - Photographs" at Villa Bardini, which will remain open until January 22nd, 2023; the famous "Maurits Cornelis Escher" at the Museo degli Innocenti, until March 26th, 2023; and finally "Henry Moore. The Sculptor's Drawing, and Henry Moore in Tuscany" at the Museo Novecento, through March 31st, 2023.
A Visit to the Museum: Florence in January
p>Sculptors, photographers, visionary and indefatigable artists: this is the tribute that the city of Florence wants to pay - until early 2023 - to geniuses of the caliber of Henry Moore, Eliot Erwitt, Maurits Cornelis Escher: characters who, thanks to their talent and unusual vision on reality, changed the history of the twentieth century, breaking canons and exploring languages and unknown territories.
Three pivotal museums in Florence (Villa Bardini, Museo degli Innocenti, Museo Novecento) with great courage now enhance retrospectives and exhibitions of great character, from which intimate, hidden traits and nuances of the three great artists emerge.
Palazzo Castri: a stay in Florence in January
Staying at Palazzo Castri in January is a perfect option for both travelers who want to enjoy a long weekend of art and city exhibitions and professionals and visitors to Pitti Immagine.
