	Botticelli a Palazzo Strozzi - Firenze - www.botticellipalazzostrozzi.it
		After a long period during which the Strozzi family resided mainly in Rome, the palace was restored to new splendour around the middle of the nineteenth century, initially under Princess Antonietta and later, under Prince Piero who had the building renovated by the architect Pietro Berti between 1886 and 1889.
		One of the building's main features is the accuracy with which the canons of fifteenth century architecture were observed in constructing the façade: symmetrical and linear, it is built from massive blocks of stone, large and rough-hewn in the lower part of the building, smoother towards the upper storeys.
		The palace belonged to the Strozzi family until 1937, when it was bought by the Istituto Nazionale delle Assicurazioni, and later turned over to the State in 1999, who assigned it to the City of Florence.

		After being dispersed for five centuries, some of the most important works by Sandro Botticelli are back in Florence for the major exhibition held at Palazzo Strozzi to honour one of the major contenders for best-loved artist of the Renaissance.
		Unlike the Paris show, the Palazzo Strozzi exhibition has a coprotagonist, since it also aims to investigate the intricate relationship between Botticelli himself and his pupil Filippino Lippi (Prato, ca.1457 — Florence, 1504), who was also the son of Botticelli's own master, Filippo Lippi.
		Important Botticelli paintings from several collections in Florence are exhibited at Palazzo Strozzi alongside works which have been away for centuries, or in some case only just discovered, as in with the Botticelli painting found in Edinburgh in 1998.

		The difficulties in the utilisation of Palazzo Strozzi, since adaptation work was being carried out, meant that in 1977 the antiquarians had to move to Palazzo Giuntini (now the Grand Hotel), after which they returned to the original site up to 1993.
		The following two Biennali (1997 1999) were held in Palazzo Corsini sull'Arno; however, despite the efforts, the commitment and the utilisation of this highly evocative Palazzo, the results failed to come up the level of what was happening elsewhere in Europe.
		Nor should we overlook the inaugural evening which is scheduled to be well worthy of the event, and through which the Fair manages to offer the restoration of important works of art housed in Florentine museums, continuing what is by now a consolidated tradition.
