Workshop organised by: OPD, Opificio delle Pietre Dure, Italian Ministry of Culture
Place: Firenze, IT
Address: Aula Magna dell’Ateneo – Piazza S. Marco 1

On the occasion of the fourth centenary of the death of Caravaggio, the exhibition Caravaggio e i caravaggeschi a Firenze (May 22 – October 17, 2010) is currently open in Firenze.

The exhibition is articulated in a unique course through Palazzo Pitti, Galleria degli Uffizi and Villa Bardini, representing a wide parade of masterworks of Caravaggio and his followers, who renovated at the beginning of 1600 the painting and the sacred and profane iconography (http://www.unannoadarte.it/inglese/index.html).

Taking advantage of this outstanding exhibition, following decades of scientific research, disclosures, attributions, and acquisitions, the Opificio delle Pietre Dure has organized a one-day international workshop dedicated to a concerted discussion about the most recent achievements on the painting technique of Caravaggio and his followers.
The event will be held at the Aula Magna dell’Ateneo in Piazza S.Marco 1 on September 17th 2010.
Interventions are planned by Claudio Seccaroni (ENEA), Fabio Talarico (ISCR), Claudio Falcucci (MIDA), Marco Ciatti, Cecilia Frosinini, Roberto Bellucci, Carlo Lalli (OPD), Raffaella Fontana (CNR-INO), and by Ashok Roy and Larry Keith (National Gallery of London).
