The exhibition recounts the artisanal tradition of wood in the workshops of Stefano Bardini, known as the prince of antique dealers, and his son Ugo, lighting a fascinating chapter in Florentine art between the end of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th century. 
Between the end of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century, the Bardini workshops became centers of excellence, where wood was transformed into works of art: Renaissance-style objects and furnishings that enchanted an international clientele. 

The exhibition is not only a tribute to the genius of Bardini, but also an opportunity to rediscover the profound bond between Florence and the art of restoration and antiques. 

This exhibition, through a selection of tools, drawings and artefacts from the collections of Palazzo Mozzi Bardini, invites visitors to immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the historic ateliers. Among the most evocative objects, stands out the original workbench from the Bardini workshops, restored for the occasion.
