The "Amico Museo" events, organized by the Chianti and Florentine Valdarno Museum System under the patronage of the region, are back.
This year's theme is "Museums and Controversial Histories" and will involve Figline and Incisa Valdarno with a theatrical performance scheduled for June 4 at Villa Casagrande (Via Giovanni Battista Del Puglia 61, Figline).
It is in the cloister of the Villa that the Vasari IN/EX company and the Contrada Porta Fiorentina, directed by Vincenzo Poggesi, will stage a performance of a particular event in early 16th-century Figlino history: the arrival of Pope Leo X at Casagrande.
After the performance, which will begin at 5 p.m., it will be possible to participate in a guided tour of the main floor of the Villa, where Pope Leo X (belonging to the Medici family) stayed during one of his departures to Rome. The tour, curated by Daniela Matteini, is free of charge.
