and approach to iconography. Catalogue available.

A symposium organized in collaboration
with the town of Peccioli, and the American Bible Society,
with the support of the Province of Pisa, in conjunction with
the exhibition Holy Russia in Tuscany, proposes to highlight
and analyze the infrastructure of the Italian small town as
one of the great virtuous characteristics of Italy.
Giovanni De Bardi (1534-1614) wrote: “A City is a union
of a number of houses and quarters situated in one place in
order that men may live well and justly.” The afternoon
symposium was followed by a Tuscan dinner at San Domenico
restaurant featuring a typical menu and wines from Peccioli
to benefit ICFA.
