Paolo Veronese, "Annunciazione", 1570-75. By permission of the Ministry of Culture – Gallerie degli Uffizi.

A visual sermon. A divine dialogue caught in the act. Paolo Veronese’s “The Annunciation to the Virgin” is a cornerstone of the Renaissance. The painting encapsulates the interplay of the human and the divine, the meticulous attention to detail, and a newfound fascination with perspective and depth. The hues glide on the canvas as the angel Gabriel breaks the mundane to announce Mary’s destiny, bridging the earthly and celestial realms. The composition narrates a tale of revelation and acceptance. Today, a unique resonance kindles within when viewing Veronese’s masterpiece. Much like the original Renaissance, it signifies a revolution of thought and expression. We are invited to forge a dialogue between the past and the future, intertwining historical wisdom with forward-thinking creativity. A New Renaissance.

Since the dawn of the Renaissance, Florence has pulsed as a crucible where intellectuals, artists, scientists and musicians meld their diverse knowledge.Thanks to the groundbreaking patronage of the Medici, the city transforms into an expansive stage birthing an experimental community. Artist studios and academies, charged with vibrant fervor, emerge as epicenters of creative alchemy. From these Florentine depths rises an eclectic ethos, sculpting novel paradigms of beauty and morality. These same values are the pillars of Ferragamo’s vision whose ethos intertwines with a modern symphony of creatives – from creatives directors and photographers to artists, sound designers, and scholars. Together, they forge a dynamic community, shaping a multifaceted tapestry of contemporary artistry and thought.
