On the occasion of the 83rd International Crafts Exhibition (MIDA 2019) Once Extraordinary Events presents “The Seven Wonders of Tuscany”, a journey to research and discover the art of know-how.
At the center of the exhibition itinerary, at the Polveriera of the Fortezza da Basso, there is Matter – synthesized in alabaster, bronze, ceramic, iron, marble, gold, tobacco – which dialogues with the Nature of the Tuscan landscape. However, the Hand of Man is the true protagonist, capable of shaping, shaping, developing and interpreting the vision of artistic craftsmanship, the result of work, tradition and passion that is handed down through entire generations. And with it the Mind, which accompanies thought in the setting of an ideal Agora, which aims to be an invitation to discover these wonders. A visual and relational experience, in close contact with the master craftsmen from Carrara, Pietrasanta, Scarperia, Montelupo Fiorentino, Empoli, Florence, Campi Bisenzio, Volterra and Lucca, with precious elements and authentic works of art.
