The Galleria dell’Accademia will present the restored Pietà da Palestrina, the marble group sculpture attributed to Michelangelo and exhibited in the Tribune of the David. On this occasion at 10.00 p.m. in the Tribune of the David the Galleria dell’Accademia of Florence proposes the video Emergence (2002) by Bill Viola in the presence of the artist himself. This event intends to suggest a meditation on the theme of the Pietà, a central theme in the life and work of Michelangelo starting from his youth (St. Peter’s Pietà), and then repeatedly in later age (the Bandinelli Pietà intended for his own tomb, and the Rondanini Pietà).
This is another extraordinary possibility to see an incredible artist from the past, Michelangelo, and an extraordinary artist of this times, Bill Viola. The Bill Viola's opera will be on till 9th of May 2010, so don't waste to much time.

March, crazy month, but in 1985...
Today, coming here at the Hotel Mario's to work like every single day, it started to snow, a light snow,but a real cold March snow.In Italy we use to say March is the craziest month of the year, because it usually rain one day and the day after is sunny and hot. The differences are given from the clouds and the water, but not for the SNOW.Firenze is a beautiful city, romantic too and if you are just visitors could be nice to stay in Florence when is white.
The last big snowfall was before last Christmas, but the biggest one was in 1985, more than 25 years ago.What did it happen?The Arno river froze solid that year,for the first time since 1929.The Tuscan spring is often lazy, taking its time in arriving. Though by mid-March the days are longer, so we have to wait only for a little bit and we'll have, im sure, a very very hot Spring and of course Summer.I invite everybody to come in Florence during April and May, that in my opionion, are the most fantastic months of the year.
