 A foundation, a museum, an exhibition: atop one of the beautiful hills overlooking the Arno stands Villa Bardino, dedicated entirely to Roberto Capucci, the renowned maestro of Italian and international fashion. From 14th January at the Museum of the Roberto Capucci Foundation, visitors can admire a new exhibition dedicated to the relationship between geometric volumes, fabric as a design material, and clothing construction. This is the spirit of the exhibition entitled Questione di Stile. Roberto Capucci Materia e Design (A Question of Style: Roberto Capucci, Material and Design).

If you are not able to visit Florence during the low season (in November and in January-February) and you would rather not have to contend with long queues and waiting times at the museums, we recommend booking your admission to the State Museums of Florence, especially for visiting the Uffizi Gallery and the Accademia Gallery. |

From 3rd February to 11th April, the Polo Museale Fiorentino opens to contemporary art with an exhibition entitled Alla maniera d’oggi. Base a Firenze (In the Fashion of Today: Based in Florence) organised in conjunction with the Luigi Pecci Centre for Contemporary Art of Prato. Curated by Marco Bazzini, the exhibition establishes a dialogue between a number of the most important venues of the Polo Museale Fiorentino and the artistic production expressed in Tuscany over the last few decades.
From a gastronomic point of view schiacciata alla fiorentina (florentine flat cake), cenci (sweet "rag") and frittelle (rice fritters) are the kings and queens of Carnival.
The Bargello National Museum will once again open its halls to music on Thursdays during the months of February and March. The concert festival entitled Ludwig Van Beethoven – Sonatas will present compositions for flute, violin, cello, and piano.
