Paolo Scheggi for the Pitti Palace

GERMANA MARUCELLI, THE PIONEER WHO "INVENTED" MADE IN ITALY: THE COSTUME MUSEUM OF PALAZZO PITTI IN FLORENCE REOPENS TO THE PUBLIC WITH AN EXHIBITION DEDICATED TO THE FLORENTINE FASHION DESIGNER.

Until Sept. 24, clothes, jewelry, artwork, sketches and photographs will recount the explosive creativity of one of the most eccentric protagonists of Italian fashion, described by Fernanda Pivano as "the intellectual seamstress" and a friend of Ungaretti, who called her "a rare interpreter of poetry." Also recreated for the exhibition, curated by Silvia Casagrande, are the spaces of the cultural salon she founded in the postwar period and her '64 atelier.
