Le Sculture di David a Firenze tra Storia e Simbolo - English subtitles

A biblical hero, David, the young King of Judah and Israel who defeats the giant Goliath, is a symbolic figure of good fighting against evil, who, over the centuries, has fascinated so many artists that he has been the subject of various sculptures from the Renaissance and beyond. David's Sculptures in Florence between History and Symbol is a video production made by some of the most important Florentine cultural institutions to narrate and show just the Davids found in the Tuscan capital. A project conceived during the period of confinement due to the pandemic in order to keep active and cultivate the dialogue between museums and cultural institutions in general, thus establishing a fruitful collaborative relationship between important entities in the area. David's Sculptures in Florence between History and Symbol is the idea of Cecilie Hollberg, director of the Galleria dell'Accademia in Florence, and Paola d'Agostino, director of the Bargello Museums, with the collaboration of Claudio Rocca, director of the Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, involving the Culture Department of the City of Florence and the Opera di Santa Maria del Fiore.
