Women in Power: Caterina and Maria de' Medici. The Return to Florence of Two Queens of France
Florence, Palazzo Strozzi - Oct. 24, 2008 - Feb. 8, 2009
"The event is a tribute to Caterina and Maria de’ Medici, queens of France yet both imbued with a fresh and innovative cultural approach. They were energetic regents: two women in power, both controversial, both emblematic, and both of whom left their mark on a century of European history.
400 years on, Florence is celebrating their legend by "virtually" bringing them back to their home city in a fascinating exhibition taking its cue from the recent reassembly of a series of monumental tapestries previously displayed in a very popular exhibition at the Galerie des Gobelins in Paris, and in the Château de Chambord."
