Tuesday 23 April in the Humanities Library of the University of Florence will be presented the exhibition of images FIRENZE 1943-1944: la guerra nei disegni di Renzo Grazzini (FLORENCE 1943-1944: the war in the drawings of Renzo Grazzini), with unpublished photographs of the city, a look at the daily life of Florentines during the Second World War, in a city ravaged by the Nazi occupation and the bombing of the Allied Forces.
The exhibition features twenty panels with reproductions of eight graphic drawings by Renzo Grazzini (1912-1990) and twelve black and white photographs, taken in March 1944 from a window of the Seminary next to the Cestello Church and kept at the ANPI Oltrarno Documentation Centre.
On the occasion of the anniversary of 25 April, the exhibition offers an insight into the tragic consequences of war on civilians in a city like Florence during the Second World War, and at the same time offers a tool for reflection on what is happening today to people in the cities of Ukraine, the Middle East and Africa.
