This workshop focuses on the city of Florence as a site of circulation and translocation of cultural assets from 1922 to the present day. Renowned hub for art lovers and dealers from all over Europe and the US since the 19th century, during these decades Florence-based cultural assets experienced an unprecedented level of exchange, displacement or outright looting that affected especially Jewish citizens but also political opponents and expats communities. Putting the objects themselves at the centre of the enquiry – not only artworks but also books, archives, ceremonial objects, Judaica, Hebraica, music instruments, furniture, etc. –, the two-day workshop revolves around the Florentine case study in order to inquire into how and to which extent material culture shaped and was shaped by specific events, actors and networks active in Florence.
