Autumn in Florence: the event-filled green season

The season of new olive oil is the perfect time to fully experience the city and all its events: food, art, culture and creativity.

It's autumn! The season of coats, boots, the desire to visit and, above all, new olive oil. The green season is the perfect time to fill your calendar with creative events in the city and new flavours. Embrace the changeable weather: if it rains, it’s the ideal opportunity to shut yourself into a museum or restaurant and when it’s lovely outside, enjoy walks in the crisp, countryside air.

Take note!

Florence Biennale Art & Design - from October 23 to 31, 2021

Concepts of Femininity in Contemporary Art and Design is the theme of the 13th edition of the Florence Biennale of Art & Design, taking place at Fortezza da Basso from October 23 to 31. There are two main ideas: one is that femininity has an intrinsic, unalterable essence that has inspired many of the most important artistic and literary creations in the history of humanity, weaving from the primordial cult of the Great Mother up to Dante Alighieri’s famous Beatrice and Johann Wolfgang Goethe’s "Femineo eterno" (the Eternal Feminine).

The other focus is on the ongoing changes that characterize the contemporary world and which also influence femininity, revolutionizing it as social and cultural movements develop, such as those that have evolved around feminisms and LGBTQ communities. From the sexual revolution of the sixties and the battles for equal opportunities up to the debate on gender identities, there are countless stimuli that have led to a redefinition of the concept of femininity, increasing its complexity and multidimensionality even more.
