The exhibition strengthens Moore's bond with the territory, which still hosts the artist's monumental works and which hosted, in addition to the important exhibition of 1972, an exhibition in the Sala d'Arme of Palazzo Vecchio in 1987. It should also be remembered that Florence represented a salient and perhaps crucial moment in the formation of Moore's artistic genius, who arrived in the city for the first time in 1925, during his first study trip to Italy, thanks to a scholarship made available by the Royal College of Art. As a side event, the Museo Novecento hosts the exhibition Henry Moore in Toscana until 30 May 2021 in the rooms on the second floor. The project was born with the intention of underlining the link between the sculptor and the Tuscan territory and presents a series of works from private collections that testify, together with documents and photographs, the intense artistic and emotional relationship that bound the sculptor to the city of Florence and Tuscany. The study trip to Italy in 1925 represented for Moore a sort of revelation, the live observation of the masterpieces of the Tuscan masters of the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries will accompany him for a long time and will mark his artistic training together with the study of primitivist and extra-European sculpture, discovered at the British Museum in London, of the historical avant-gardes, of Brancusi and Picasso.
