EVENT DESCRIPTION:

Seventy years after the birth of Lorenzo Bonechi (Figline Valdarno, 1955 - 1994), the Museo Novecento pays tribute to the artist from Figline Valdarno with a solo exhibition of 25 works that interact with the museum's permanent collection. The exhibition, titled "The City of Women," curated by Sergio Risaliti and Eva Francioli in collaboration with the Lorenzo Bonechi Archive, opens to the public from Friday, July 4th until Wednesday, October 29th, 2025.

Lorenzo Bonechi, active since the late 1970s, was part of the vibrant artistic scene of the 1980s, marked not only by the Transavanguardia movement, but also by Anachronism and Cultured Painting. Developing a research based on drawing, he experimented with engraving and sculpture, before devoting himself, starting in 1982, almost exclusively to painting, using tempera and oil.
