Tutto é pronto per il nuovo appuntamento di Musei in scena... questa volta il nuovo appuntamento é al Museo Soffici.

É il secondo appuntamento della stagione con l'emozione delle 'letture teatrali'. Un nuovo modo di visitare e vivere il museo facendosi guidare dalle emozioni del racconto teatrale.

Andranno in scena Livia Gionfrida, che dirige il Teatro Metropopolare, Giulia Aiazzi e Alice Chiari con il suo violoncello. Insieme ‘interpreteranno' il poetico mondo di Soffici e dei suoi paesaggi dell'anima.

Musei in scena permetterà di scoprire il valore artistico di Ardengo Soffici attraverso il linguaggio del teatro, un modo innovativo ed un'occasione da non perdere.

The Ardengo Soffici and 20th-century Italian Museum exhibits paintings by the great artist, intellectual and art critic Ardengo Soffici, from various public and private collections, presented in an extensive review from 1904 to the 1960s. It is possible to permanently follow the creative story and the stylistic contribution of this artist with a European nature, even more significant for having maintained a profile well rooted in his land. The Museum is located on the first floor of the restored Medici Stables, where there is also the 'F. Inverni ' library, which preserves a specific section and an archive of images dedicated to the artist. The museum was inaugurated on May 16, 2009, two years after the important exhibition 'Soffici 1907-2007. One hundred years after his return to Italy ', organized on the occasion of the artist's return to Poggio a Caiano after his long stay in Paris. There are about 40 works preserved in these rooms, to which the ones exhibited on the occasion of temporary exhibitions are added year after year. Alongside the paintings, the museum exhibits some of the magazines in which Soffici collaborated with writings and drawings, which confirm the strong personality of the artist and his role in the artistic and literary society of the time.

Permanent exhibition inside the 'Ardengo Soffici and the Italian Twentieth Century' Museum. The permanent exhibition reconstructs the artist's pictorial process, through forty main works of the various artistic movements embraced by the painter, from 1904 to 1962, and characteristic of his style. Coming from public and private collections, they will remain on loan for use by the Municipality of Poggio a Caiano. The exhibition wants to be a center of visual documentation and a point of reference for a reinterpretation of this artist in the context of the European culture. At the Medici Stables you can also visit a specialized library with the first editions of the Tuscan artist's printed works, a collection of the critical bibliography, the complete series of magazines directed by him and the ones with which he collaborated (in particular Leonardo, La Voce, Lacerba, Rete Mediterranea, Galleria) and an archive of images and documents related to him.
