Florence, one of the most beautiful and visited art cities in the world, is an open-air museum, placed in the UNESCO’s World Heritage List since 1982. “Biospine 2022” will be hosted in a really fascinating location, the “Istituto degli Innocenti”, a spectacular project of Filippo Brunelleschi, considered the first engineer and designer of the modern age, one of the three great initiators of the Florentine Renaissance with Donatello and Masaccio.
