From June 11 to 13, 2016, a three-day series of complimentary events known as Secret Florence will take place, preceding Pitti Uomo 90, which runs from June 14 to 17. This initiative includes participation from Museo Marino Marini, Museo Novecento, Tempo Reale, Virgilio Sieni, Fondazione Fabbrica Europa, Le Murate, and Lo schermo dell’arte Film Festival. Attendees can enjoy music, dance, visual arts, and cinema across 15 locations, such as Cenacolo di Andrea Del Sarto and Biblioteca di San Marco. Mayor Dario Nardella emphasized this as one of five city initiatives connecting contemporary art with the public and fashion. Notable events include Museo Marino Marini's free admission on June 12, choreographic performances by Virgilio Sieni, and outdoor screenings like “Annie Leibovitz: Life Through a Lens.”
