Giovanni Fattori and Casa Corsini: The Story of a Long Friendship

Join us for a conversation between a historian on Italian aristocratic families,  Domenico Savini and art historian, Silvio Balloni about the close friendship of painter Giovanni Fattori and the Corsini family. 

Giovanni Fattori (1825-1908) was an Italian painter. He was a leader of the Macchiaioli movement, a Tuscan art movement similar to impressionism. Fattori had a close relationship with the Corsini family, as they often funded his paintings and invited him to stay on their Maremma property.

 The conference will take place on Thursday November 20th, at 6pm. This event wants to pay homage to the artist, as it is the 200th anniversary of his birth. Therefore, on the following weekend the association will visit Livorno's Museo Civico to see Giovanni Fattori. A Revolution in Painting.
