Firenze per il
mondo 1966–2026

This 60th-anniversary exhibition at Sala d'Arme in Palazzo Vecchio examines the Arno flood of 4 November 1966 and the international wave of solidarity that contributed to Florence's recovery. An immersive video and largely unpublished archival material—letters, telegrams, photographs and period films—trace the emergency and the months of reconstruction, highlighting the role of mayor Piero Bargellini and the municipal administration in coordinating rescue and aid. The exhibition is a project of the Comune di Firenze and Fondazione MUS.E, curated by Rita Corsini and Valentina Zucchi, in partnership with the Archivio storico del Comune di Firenze. Admission is free; opening hours are 10:00–18:00 daily throughout the 4–22 November 2026 run.
