March 9 – May 20, 2024, Hotel Savoy

During the months of the exhibition, to celebrate the ‘Florentine genius’ and female creativity as you have never seen it before, the Hotel Savoy in Florence created a tour, in collaboration with Artemisia Gold, a non-profit foundation profit dedicated to the research, restoration and exhibition of women’s works of art.

On a journey through the ancient streets of Florence, we discover the stories of extraordinary women who contributed to the art and culture of this Renaissance city. Often in the shadow of their male counterparts, these women have left an indelible mark on the Florentine artistic landscape, the brilliance of which only emerges upon careful exploration. A tour dedicated to them, their hidden works and their fascinating lives, reveals the richness and diversity of female voices in the art of Florence.
