Exhibitions and Projects

Il Palmerino Cultural Association regularly presents small-scale, in-depth exhibitions, accompanied by publications documenting their protagonists’ lives and works, through original research, or via shared memories, gleaned from interviews with featured artists or their families. Our multipurpose room doubles as our main exhibition venue and is equipped with paneling and directional lights for this purpose. Our exhibitions are often linked to shows hosted in public institutions of renowned, and they become a ‘magnifying glass’ of sorts, pinpointing specific insights that emerge in the larger shows. Additionally, at Il Palmerino, we often feature artworks from private collections or shine a light on unpublished or little-known works, bringing them into the public arena.

​

In recent years, our cultural projects have gained greater scope, through an international partnership with the Calliope Arts Foundation and Restoration Conversations magazine. City-supported programmes such as ‘Feel Florence’ and ‘Estate Fiorentina’ projects, whose funding and outreach have been paramount to the success of our joint endeavours. These partnerships have given rise to international seminars, exhibition cycles involving art conservation, research projects and publications, and other cultural opportunities including Il Palmerino’s Cultural Association’s participation in festivals or initiatives outside of Italy, where we showcase our artists or promote the literary, artistic and historic figures that have been a fundamental part of our history.​
