Florence's Orsanmichele is a Renaissance gem hidden in plain sight and an example of 14th-century multi-tasking. Find out what inspired the city fathers to add a sacred art gallery to their grain market.
The Loggia Lecture Series is inspired by the Italian loggia, an outdoor space for engaging others in conversation or simply admiring the artfulness of the passing world. Each Loggia Lecture illuminates a significant art history topic that dovetails with an exhibition at BAM, creating opportunities for lively discussion throughout.
