For this holiday season, Palazzo Marino opens to the city with a special exhibition. Milanese and tourists will be able to admire it for free four masterpieces of Florentine and Tuscan art, all made between the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries and coming from Florence.
The artistic path testifies to the fervent activity of assistance, mercy and charity towards fragile and needy people, which has been the distinctive feature of the city of Milan for centuries.
The exhibition also extends to the other eight municipalities of the city. From 13 December the neighborhood libraries will host important works that explore the theme of charity and beauty: four canvases from the seventeenth century and four from the nineteenth/twentieth century.
The paintings come from some Milanese institutes which for centuries have assisted the neediest families, supported by the generosity of many benefactors.

The appointment with the great Christmas exhibition of Palazzo Marino, the result of the collaboration between the Municipality of Milan, the Municipality of Florence and the Metropolitan City of Florence and curated by Stefano Zuffi and Domenico Piraina, sees the exhibition of four intense works of Tuscan art between the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries, coming from four different Florentine museums.
A sculpture and three paintings that mark significant stages in the history of art and culture.
The charity, sculpted by the Sienese Tino di Camaino and coming from the Bardini Museum, expresses
the thoughtful and very human energy of the "plastic values" of the age of Giotto and Dante; the tabernacle with the Adoration of the Magi by the young Beato Angelico, from the Museum of San Marco, it is a jewel of combination of techniques between painting, miniature and goldsmithing; the Madonna and Child by Filippo Lippi, from Palazzo Medici Riccardi, one of the painter's last and most accomplished works on panel, offers us the serene conquest of the humanistic perspective; after the satisfied splendor of the age of Lorenzo the Magnificent, the Madonna and Child by Botticelli, preserved at the Stibbert Museum, proposes the profound religious rethinking urged by Savonarola where the infallible precision of the drawing is veiled by a note of melancholy, the omen of a destiny.
Thanks to the exhibition design by Franco Achilli and Luigi Ciuffrida and the lighting design by Giambattista Buongiorno, the masterpieces are offered for viewing in the scenography of an ideal cathedral, created with the use of materials
vegetable, renewable and recycled raw materials, including silk, evocative of Renaissance Milan.
The widespread Christmas exhibition (from 13 December 2022)
The theme of Charity inspired the choice of works for the "widespread exhibition" in the libraries of the eight Municipalities, which will host paintings from not only Castello Sforzesco and from Gallery of Modern Art, from four Milanese welfare institutions - Ca' Granda Foundation Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico, Golgi Redaelli Institute, Institute for the Blind of Milan, Milanese Institutes Martinitt and Stelline and Pio Albergo Trivulzio - as evidence of the activities of care, mercy and help to the needy that have always characterized our city.
