Palazzuolo rue ouverte
Quand les rideaux de fer des magasins descendent, via Palazzuolo, une rue en dehors des routes touristiques et aussi peu connue par les Florentins bien qu’elle se situe à proximité de la gare Santa Maria Novella, se transforme en une galerie d’art. Cette transformation est due à la réalisation d’un projet lié au festival de l’Estate Fiorentina 2023 promu de la Municipalité de Florence.
Les rideaux en fer de dix magasins ont été peint par les artistes Clet, Exit Enter, Luchadora, Droste, James Vega, Miles, Mr. G, Kraita317, Nian, Urto et Monograff qui ont contribué à donner une nouvelle lumière à une rue qui a été abandonnée pendant les dernières années et qui cherche à créer des nouveaux motifs d’attraction.
L'âme de via Palazzuolo a toujours été liée à l’art grâce à la grande concentration d’ateliers d’artisans qui ont désormais presque tous fermé, mais cette nouvelle injection artistique, coordonnée par Street Levels Gallery, va sans doute donner une attractivité importante au quartier.

Street Levels Gallery
Active since: 2016
Areas of interest: International gallery of urban art
Street Levels Gallery is an international gallery of urban art, the first of its kind in Florence. The fruit of the encounter between artists and cultural producers, the gallery aims at offering an articulated space able to focus attention on various levels of interaction in art – the street, the public, the exhibition space – in a two-way, dynamic and constantly changing exchange with the urban fabric. With this idea in mind, the staff at Street Levels Gallery created a gallery completely dedicated to artistic experimentation, the exhibition of works and the production of connections, human stories and shared projects. Cultural provocation is generated as a collateral practice with the clear intent of recounting experiences and artistic expressions originating from the street, while both legitimating their existence and attempting to overcome the narrative limits and stereotypes between public and private space and between the street and the exhibition venue. Street Levels Gallery aims to play the crucial role of ‘buffer’ in its commitment to mediating and reconciling different artistic visions with the needs of individuals, public agencies and the community at large. Indeed the gallery boasts a long series of successful collaborative projects with municipal governments, festivals, artistic events, museums, companies, associations, collectives, universities and public and private institutions. The ultimate aim of these initiatives is to spread and promote the urban art movement in Italy and in the world.
