Museo Novecento presents in the spaces of the Caveau of the Manifattura Tabacchi Even in a castle you can fall, the final exhibition of the residency project WONDERFUL! Art Research Program 1st edition 2024 – Maria Manetti Shrem. Curated by Benedetta Casini, the exhibition presents in the evocative spaces of the former factory the work of artists Friedrich Andreoni, Lucia Cantò, Benedetta Fioravanti and Giovanna Repetto.

WONDERFUL! Art Research Programme is a project devised by the Museo Novecento under the artistic direction of Sergio Risaliti and the curatorship of Stefania Rispoli. It was created to offer young artists and curators working in Italy the opportunity to live for a period of over six months in Florence, a city that for centuries has been a hotbed of ideas, a source of inspiration and a home for artists. The project is designed to provide space and time for artistic and professional growth through the provision of a residency, a studio, a scholarship and a training programme. In their flats at the Museo Novecento and in their studios at the Manifattura Tabacchi, the artists Friedrich Andreoni, Lucia Cantò, Benedetta Fioravanti, Giovanna Repetto and the curator Benedetta Casini in residence, selected through an open call, met professionals, artists, curators and many people who shared with them experiences and moments of study and research.
