The Ente Cassa di Risparmio di Firenze is strongly committed to the promotion of the so-called “minor” historical-artistic and architectural heritage of the Florentine area.
The exhibition intends to provide a key to the understanding of the collections of art in each museum through an in-depth study of the theme of Marian devotion. In fact, the thread running through the event taking place both in Florence and in the Chianti area is represented by the figure of the Virgin taking into consideration some of her attributions that will be associated to the three exhibition centers according to the works housed in each of them: the Mater Divinæ Gratiæ in Impruneta, the Mater Dolorosa in Greve in Chianti and the Mater Dulcissima in Tavarnelle Val di Pesa. In addition to that each center will house other prestigious works of art coming from the collections of the Ente Cassa di Risparmio di Firenze and other important Florentine museums.
