This exhibition has ended.

A tribute to architect and illustrator Paolo Antonio Martini (1943–2022), one of the most original figures in Florence's architectural scene. Held in the Fabiani Rooms, the exhibition presents a selection from over 100 notebooks of drawings made between 1972 and 2022 — figures, imaginary characters, theoretical reflections, and illustrations displayed in both original and reproduced form.

Pages pulled from fifty years of the Florentine architect's notebooks — figures, invented characters, drawn arguments about building — hung in the Fabiani Rooms. The last weekend to see it.
