For around two months, in the Sala del Fiorino – also known as the Quartiere d'Inverno – of the Florentine residence of the Grand Dukes, the Gallery of Modern Art of the Pitti Palace will host a one man show devoted to Sergio Scatizzi, one of the most significant and complex exponents of twentieth-century Tuscan painting.

The show presents a selection of sixty-one works originating from the artist’s studio and emblematic of his most recent production. Less than ten years of extremely intense activity (2000-2009), in which he has ardently painted vision after vision, natural subjects traversed and almost attacked by the vehemence of the brushstroke and the colour that increasingly becomes a dominant element, engaging in a clearly overbearing way with the linear rhythms into which the image is divided almost by magic.
