The first major exhibition since 1955 of over 140 works by the great Florentine master Fra Angelico (1395-1455) was featured during the past year at the Fondazione Palazzo Strozzi and the Museo di San Marco, a Medici-commissioned Dominican convent in Florence where Angelico lived and worked. The event has created an opportunity for a unique dialogue between institutions and the region.
