Tuesday 5 March 2024, 6.30pm Conversation with Nicola Coccia on -The Massacre of the Fairies-

27/02/2024

“The massacre of the Masso delle Fate”, a beautiful book by Nicola Coccia, journalist, writer and passionate collector of Tuscan and contemporary art, refers to an unpublished episode in the life of Ottone Rosai, the famous Florentine painter of the 20th century who allows the friend Nicola to tell his complex and contradictory life, both artistic and political.

A journey of almost a century in the Florence of the 20th century, caught between two great wars, but above all the seat and point of reference of important contemporary artistic and political movements, demonstrating capable extremism in a city always considered a symbol of mediation of peace and tolerance... ….but finally, are we sure that this vocation of his was ever true?

Rosai´s life, in its lesser-known sides revealed by Nicola Coccia´s book, gives us an opportunity for knowledge and reflection......

The book, in its second reprint, will be available at a great courtesy price
