The area

Address
Neighborhood: Duomo
Florentia, as it was called by Latins, is permeated by an eternal beauty spread in all corners of the city. The historic center is characterized by the immensity of the Duomo, able to transport tourists into the brightest age of Florence: the Renaissance. Who does not know the Brunelleschi Dome, San Giovanni Baptistery and the Giotto’s Campanile? Everything is enclosed here and it would be easy to imagine the city as it was in ancient times, with maids walking in the main square and horses carrying coaches. Nowadays, roads are busy with street artists. Rustic Tuscan bakeries give way to fashion shops; just stop for a few minutes in the middle of Piazza della Repubblica to enjoy the colors and sweet melody of the carousel that will bring back great memories from anyone’s childhood.

    According to the exhibition
    We took advantage of a very beautiful temporary exhibition dedicated to Anselm Kieffer who was involved in the installation. Very beautiful creation by the artist for this exhibition below, accessible to all. Allows you to discover Kieffer's work over several years with a breathtaking room where 60 works are presented. High price (15€).

    Palazzo Strozzi is a must-visit exhibition space
    Palazzo Strozzi hosted the Anselm Kiefer / Fallen Angels exhibition during my trip to Florence. 

 It is a beautiful space, with a dramatic foyer which draws you in completely. The Kiefer exhibition is wonderful, but it ends soon, so get to it if you can. It was beautifully curated and suited the space so well with the huge breath-taking canvases. It's a special place, get to if you can!

    " Renaissance wonder "
    Charming Renaissance palace in the historic center of Florence. I visited it on the occasion of the Alselm Kiefer exhibition. It is accessed in a beautiful courtyard where there is a cute bistro. Imposing palace that houses very important historical events of Florentine life.

    Kiefer One of Our My Saves Artists
    We went to see the Anselm Kiefer exhibition on the last opening day even on Sunday but we had bought tickets online and didn’t wait a minute in a row. Excellent organization as always at Palazzo Strozzi, where we have been coming for many years. Despite the flood of people it was an exciting experience, impeccable staging, wonderful works by an artist we love very much. We advise everyone to go and see it in the next set-ups wherever they are, it is an indispensable cultural and spiritual enrichment.

    Una Grande Bellezza
    Had the opportunity to visit the Anselm Kiefer exhibition at Palazzo Strozzi, and it was nothing short of glorious. Kiefer’s works both contrasted with and complemented the Renaissance architecture of the palazzo. I found the new piece created for the internal courtyard particularly striking - it seemed to engage in a profound and visually captivating dialogue with the historic space. Arturo Galansino’s curation of the exhibit was brilliant. Kiefer’s unique use of materials like lead and straw added layers of meaning that captivated my imagination. The setting of the palazzo itself was splendid. I look forward to visiting again and seeing more work showcased here.

    Thomas at the ticketing desk is a rock star!
    This is less a review of the Palazzo itself and more of a shout out to one of their employees! We had accidentally purchased the Firenze Card from a 3rd party (beware Destination Florence they are actually a reseller and for some reason couldn't issue us voucher code. We decided to just show up at the nearest place that sold them which happened to be the Palazzo Strozzi. The gentleman (Thomas) that greeted us then proceeded to take 30 minutes out of his day, talking to the reseller, getting them to issue us a refund and then getting us set up with the hard copy passes. He absolutely didn't need to do this and even refused our offer to buy him lunch! Having worked in hospitality for over 20 years it is rare to experience such genuine service and especially to have it come at a time when we were genuinely could have used the help! To whomever manages Thomas... give this man a raise! He truly went above and beyond and we couldn't be more appreciative!

    The Medici grandeur
    High example of the magnificence of the Medici, who wanted the construction of this immense palace as a model of ideal residence. One cannot fail to notice the structural reference to the already existing Palazzo Medici-Ricciardi, the first residence of the family, especially for the overall geometry. Cubic in shape, it develops vertically on three floors around a courtyard in the center; unlike Palazzo Medici-Ricciardi, the salient refinement of the external facade is less evident as you ascend the floor: the bricks do not evolve in elegance, but remain more or less homogeneous as a whole. Elegance is however guaranteed by the series of mullioned windows placed along the second and third floors and placed on notched cornices. It forms this recall also in the entrance portals on the ground floor. The flat roof then presents a wide perimeter cornice. Noteworthy is the inner courtyard surrounded by a large colonnaded porch that allows the right lighting to the surrounding environment, which is also guaranteed by the windows arranged all around. To date, the Palace is the guest of various associations, including the Palazzo Strozzi Foundation and the Italian Institute of Human Sciences. Accessible through the Firenze Card.

The City of Florence is an open-air museum. Its urban architecture is perfectly preserved and is a sample of the splendor of the 15th and 16th centuries.
Apart from contemplating the palaces, fountains and statues that you can see on a walking tour, you have museums and churches that you must visit. There are so many that I am not going to list them, but I could say as essential:
The Bargello Museum, the Uffizi Gallery, the Palazzo Vecchio, the Accademia Gallery, the Duomo, the Basilica of the Holy Cross and the Church of Santa Maria Novella. Also the views of the city with the Arno River and the famous Ponte Vecchio, and also the panoramic views that you can see at sunset from Michelangelo Square located on the other side of the city.
I advise you that, if you like architecture and art in general, take the trip very planned with a map of the city in which you indicate the monuments and routes that you are going to take, depending on the days you are there.

The exhibition with works by Yan Pei-Ming is beautiful and interesting, an opportunity to visit the Palace, which has a beautiful and very welcoming café with art design furniture and offers a good, well-curated menu. We appreciated the agreement with Freccia Rossa which gives discounts on tickets. The Palace is very beautiful.

Anish Kapoor Untrue Unreal exhibition with its very funny side (go there and you will find out why) even without the audio guide, still highly recommended for those who are not familiar with contemporary art. The location is particularly suitable for hosting contemporary installations. It is also equipped with an excellent and large wardrobe that allows you to store even not too large trolleys.

If you are keen on modern art - and you adore artists with a little psychopathic side - you will surely find what you are looking for here. For others, save €15/person, it’s really not worth the detour. Not to mention that afterwards you will have to spend even more in Chianti to forget this sweet feeling of having been made... had.

The Kapoor exhibition disappointed me... the ticket for 8 rooms which can be visited in half an hour by listening to the audio guide was very expensive. It didn't convey anything to me despite the complexity of the subliminal messages that the works themselves should convey... the external space with 3 black rectangles inside a white cube really seems like a counter exaggeration to me... I don't recommend

Much of this Renaissance palace is closed to the public, but it is renowned for its special exhibitions. If you are in Florence, check out if there are any temporary presentations. We were lucky that our recent visit coincided with the amazing ‘once in a life-time’ special Donatello - Il Rinascimento Exhibition which united most of the artist’s masterpieces from Florence and wider Italy, together with loans from some of the world’s most famous museums, displayed alongside works of his contemporaries and successors, so that you could better understand his innovations and influence. A smaller version of this exhibition is due to move to London and New York. Our only disappointment is that we have no memento of the Exhibition – the official guide was too large, heavy and costly (over £50) so not suitable for the average visitor/tourist.

We stopped in to see the Olafur Eliasson exhibition recently and the venue is beautiful and it was interesting to have such a modern exhibition in a historic building. The exhibition itself was very fun, colorful, and most importantly not over crowded like when I saw his exhibition in London. Very well managed, and easy to navigate. Right in the heart of Florence as well. I would be interested to see an exhibition here again.

During a short three days in Florence, on our Friday evening, we visited the Palazzo Strozzi to see the Olafur Eliasson "Nel tuo tempo" exhibition. Purpose was twofold: I'm always looking for something to do early evening (art, music, and the like) and I wanted to see the historic Palazzo Strozzi. The exhibition wasn't exactly as I envisioned but I did see some interesting pieces, although they weren't set in any space look palatial or historic. And I didn't really see much of the Palazzo or learn about its history. Should we find ourselves in Florence in the future, I would check the Palazzo Strozzi website for other similar opportunities and maybe be able to learn more about the Strozzi family and their history as well.

Magnificent Renaissance palace, Palazzo Strozzi, is located near Piazza Signoria in the very center of Florence. It is home to the Museo Fondazione Franco Zeffirelli and many wonderful temporary art exhibitions. The interior of the Palazzo is closed to public though

We visited in October 22, and saw the Olafur Eliasson exhibit. The artist and exhibit were wonderful, original, with a few works specifically designed for the building itself.
This was one of the highlights to our italy visit. We prioritized it over going to the Ufizzi to see the same old classical stuff again and it did not disappoint.
