Anyone can stroll through galleries among that masses, but imagine an intimate conversation with master sculptor Pasquale Romanelli. Galleria Romanelli is a Florence’s famed sculpture studio, founded in the 19th century, nestled in a historic palazzo, the gallery has remained under the meticulous care of the Romanelli family for five generations. Today, the distinguished Raffaello Romanelli, a direct descendant and highly acclaimed sculptor, leads the atelier. For one unforgettable evening, he will personally welcome you, offering a rare glimpse into his family’s legacy and providing insights into their time-honored techniques.
The gallery holds an impressive collection of sculptures spanning classical, Renaissance, neoclassical, and contemporary styles, alongside Raffaello’s own original works. Romanelli’s bronzes, crafted using the ancient “lost-wax” casting method, showcase intricate detail, while their hand-carved Carrara marble sculptures remain the epitome of Italian craftsmanship. As you tour the studio, Raffaello will share captivating stories of his ancestors and the evolving art of sculpture, blending old-world mastery with modern expression in each creation. This privileged access allows a direct connection to the artist, making it a unique, personal journey through Florence’s artistic soul. To conclude the evening, your party will enjoy an exquisite Tuscan meal surrounded by masterpieces.
Truly unique, and not something you find because an influencer posted a picture online. This is what Professional Luxury Travel Advisors provide: an experience combining the opportunity to delve into Florence’s artistic legacy with the rare privilege of an intimate evening among timeless masterpieces, enriched by the personal insights of a world-renowned sculptor.
