La nascita del Museo Archeologico di Firenze

Vasari Auditorium - June 27, 2018 Contribution by Carlotta Cianferoni of the Polo Museale della Toscana. On March 17, 1870, the Archaeological Museum of Florence was established by Royal Decree issued by Victor Emmanuel II. At its founding, the Museum was located in the Cenacolo of Foligno on Via Faenza, before moving to its current location on Via della Crocetta in 1883. In the century and a half that have passed since then, the Florentine Archaeological Museum has collected important artifacts, played a leading role, along with its directors, including the celebrated Luigi Adrano Milani, in fundamental developments in contemporary museology, and, unfortunately, has also been the victim of devastating events such as the infamous Florence flood.
