Firenze, 17 July 2024
Dear Friends.
I am so glad to inform you that after more than a year of careful work by our friends Federica Corsini and Daniela Lippi from the Associazione Bastioni here in Florence, with the support and insights of Dr. Lia Brunori, Bernardo Daddi’s portable triptych from 1333 is restored and was recently unveiled and is now back at the Loggia del Bigallo Museum during the reopening of the museum after years of painstaking restoration of the entire building itself. The museum, just in front of the Duomo is a small jewelbox of Renaissance art, sculpture and frescos and will open to the public shortly so do stop by for a visit and escape the heat and the crowds.
Daddi’s masterpiece is now as serene and beautiful as it was over 700 years ago. I hope you will join me in celebrating the hard work of our cultural heritage conservator-restorer colleagues that dear Mircea was proud to learn from and support in their work. And also to celebrate our shared memory and awareness of the past, to inform, guide and inspire our shared future.
All the best, and thank you all for your continuing support to the Foundation over these last 8 years.
