The chapel and the room on the second floor of the Museo Novecento host a new project entitled Étoile, designed to enhance some 20th-century works from the Florentine Civic Collections. Cyclically, one of the masterpieces from the MIAC collection will be the protagonist inside the museum rooms: an opportunity for in-depth study and rediscovery of some of the great Italian artists of the twentieth century placed in dialogue with fashion, design and architecture.

The first appointment takes its cue from the large canvas by Titina Maselli dedicated to Greta Garbo, donated by the artist to the Municipality of Florence following the appeal launched by Carlo Ludovico Ragghianti in the aftermath of the 1966 flood.

Like a large black and white photo, the painting introduces us to the mysterious and magnetic world of one of the most famous stars of international cinema.

Style icon and model of a completely original and unconventional femininity, Greta Garbo binds her image to that of Salvatore Ferragamo, a stylist loved by divas who with extreme accuracy and passion has been able to interpret the taste and personality of the great actress of Hollywood. For the occasion, as inside a small casket, some of the shoes designed by Salvatore Ferragamo for Greta Garbo are exceptionally exhibited.
