The Forte Belvedere in Florence is set to feature 'Drama: Four Acts', an art initiative for the summer of 2026, curated by Sergio Risaliti and organized by MUS.E in collaboration with Museo Novecento. This project will include three exhibitions and a sound installation. The first act, debuting on San Giovanni, will highlight Paolo Canevari's solo exhibition 'God Year', which includes pieces such as 'Madonna' (1998) and 'Disco Bomb' (2009). The second act will showcase Marino Marini's bronze sculptures under the title 'No Heroes', featuring 'Miracolo' (1952). In September, Per Barclay will unveil 'Oscuro Abbagliante' for the third act. The concluding act will be Friedrich Andreoni's sound installation 'La morte di Orfeo', inspired by the 1602 melodrama 'Euridice', focusing on themes of ethical and political engagement.
